nsave (YC S22) has raised $4 million in seed funding to enable people from unstable economies to open offshore accounts. Co-founded by Amer Baroudi and Abdallah AbuHashem, nsave provides trusted accounts abroad in USD, EUR, and GBP for individuals from distressed economies and countries with high inflation. Having experienced financial exclusion firsthand, they've embarked on a mission to democratize financial services and empower the financially underserved to protect and grow their wealth. nsave has built a user-friendly app that allows customers to shield their money from economic instability by opening secure Swiss accounts. Adopting a compliance-by-design approach, the company has developed a proprietary transaction monitoring tool to ensure it meets the most rigorous banking regulations, including anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing laws, and robust Know Your Customer (KYC) processes for client identification and verification. Operating between Switzerland and the United Kingdom, nsave leverages technology, Swiss banking infrastructure, and recent regulatory changes to provide their customers with what they've never had and what many take as a given – a safe place to put their savings. Congrats to the team on the seed!
