“Can a fintech marketplace replace legacy correspondent banking relationships for cross-border wire transfers among financial institutions?”
TenureX was founded in 2020 in Tel Aviv as an interbank marketplace for cross-border wire transfers, offering a Smart Wire API to provide granular transaction visibility across correspondent banking networks. It raised $6M total and partnered with SightSpan to address the US correspondent banking market. Despite promising early traction, the company ceased operations in February 2023 after failing to achieve sustainable growth in an infrastructure-heavy, bank-facing niche.
