Nivelo’s mission is to provide safe and instantaneous money movement for everyone. Our ambition is large - disrupting a $20 Trillion infrastructure built 50 years ago. Our impact is even bigger - securing the most common and most important payment for most people in the world - their paycheck. We're reinventing the way businesses and individuals move money.

Nivelo is the integrated payments platform that payroll brands use to move money quickly, digitally and securely to guarantee every dollar is delivered on time.

The company is backed by investors such as FirstMark Capital, Barclays Bank, and Anthemis that have taken countless companies to IPO (think Shopify and Airbnb). Investors also include experienced operators in the payment and risk space, including the COO of Stripe, Founder of Tenable, and senior operators at Chime, Stripe, Alloy, and Justworks.
