About Augustus

Augustus (formerly Ivy) is a Berlin-founded fintech building an AI-native clearing bank and proprietary Marble core for 24/7 U.S. dollar accounts and payment rails (SWIFT, ACH, SEPA and stablecoins) aimed at banks, fintechs and exchanges rather than retail depositors. Founded by Ferdinand Dabitz, Joshua Becker, Simon Wimmer and Peter Lieck, it received conditional OCC approval in May 2026 to establish Augustus Bank, N.A. In July 2026 Augustus raised a $180 million Series B at a $1 billion valuation led by Tiger Global to expand direct dollar access for financial institutions across Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
