Founded in 2023 by co-founders Gino Guatavita, and Jesus Castillo and based in California, US, Kontigo Inc. provides a mobile app that allows users to hold, transfer, and save US dollars, as well as access additional financial services like savings plans and loans. In December 2025, Kontigo Inc. raised USD 20 million in seed funding from Base and Coinbase Ventures.

Kontigo’s primary product is its digital wallet, Kontigo Cash, which allows users to handle transactions, savings, and remittances in U.S. dollars. This platform offers features such as saving in dollars, earning up to 8% annual return on savings, and facilitating seamless transactions with minimal fees. Users can create savings plans, access loans through Kontigo Points, and use the service to transfer money internationally. The platform also provides a digital account for personal and business use, along with support for various payment methods including Mobile Pay, Zelle, and other digital platforms.
