About Erebor
Erebor is a U.S.-based digital bank in formation, designed to serve the modern innovation economy — from startups and AI ventures to defense and digital asset companies. Backed by investors such as Palmer Luckey, Joe Lonsdale, and Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, the institution seeks to bridge the gap between traditional banking and emerging industries often underserved by conventional finance.
Read full description
The bank has applied for a national charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), signaling its intent to operate as a fully regulated financial institution. Erebor’s strategy blends traditional banking services — deposits, lending, and payments — with next-generation financial infrastructure that supports crypto and digital-native enterprises.
Positioned as a successor to the role once held by Silicon Valley Bank, Erebor aims to provide liquidity, stability, and specialized financial services to high-growth technology sectors. Its focus on AI, advanced manufacturing, and defense technology also reflects a broader industrial ambition: to rebuild and finance the physical backbone of American innovation.
