From our CEO, Nassim Eddequiouaq
In 2019, I tried to change the world by joining Meta's Libra project. My beliefs aligned with its vision: making modern financial services universal—available on any phone, always-on 24/7/365, as cheap as a text or email—with open, trusted money. But no existing technology let our team focus on our core strength and mission: connecting people via the best consumer mobile finance app. Instead, we spent billions and mobilized hundreds globally to build the entire foundation, from regulatory compliance to technology and operations stacks.
Had that infrastructure existed, our app would be in billions of hands today; we'd have channeled all those resources into mission-aligned product building.
This wasn’t about blockchain vs. fiat; it was about the distraction of rebuilding a financial institution from scratch. There, I saw the need for tools that hide finance’s complex rails and regulations.
To support all the people and institutions that want to change the world, we must build the world’s best financial tools—regulatory and technical—that work in tandem like the complex interconnected parts of a watch, all hidden behind an elegantly simple yet beautiful interface, to serve one purpose:
To let businesses build world‑changing financial products.
That's why we founded Bastion.
We create tools that make integrating the best of finance easy.
We design products that build trust
We engineering pragmatic solutions to solve business problems.
We create world-class experiences for people and institutions building financial products. We abstract complexity - blockchains, banking rails, future technologies - and the compliance that comes with them, so businesses can focus on their core mission.
We connect and unify the rails money runs on, handle required compliance, and expose it all through one simple platform.
As software eats the world - accelerated by AI — we build API-first financial infrastructure that integrates seamlessly.
We build and sell trust.
Our customers entrust us with critical corporate and customer assets, personal information, and financial data - while staying compliant. Their customers and partners rely on them the same way.
At Bastion, we earn this trust with products that make it easy to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing - through compliance, technology, and consistent delivery.
We are first-principles, engineering-driven pragmatists.
Technology is a means, not the end. We start from business problems and use the best technology to solve it.
If the best technology exists, we use it.
If it doesn’t, we build it.
Organizations worldwide use Bastion to build financial products that change the world. People who lacked—or had limited—access to the financial system can now bank, invest, and earn on applications powered by Bastion, moving closer to financial freedom.
With Bastion, fintech startups deliver instant remittances to families in emerging markets. Investment platforms open global markets so underserved users can invest and earn. Lending apps extend micro‑loans to small businesses, unlocking more opportunity.
A global entertainment group has integrated its Bastion‑powered stablecoin across its ecosystem, using it to manage billions in treasury reserves—balancing yield and liquidity—and to stream royalties to creators in real time worldwide.
In the future, most companies and internet users will access financial services through Bastion. New businesses launch and scale fast, focused on their mission. Existing ones embed world‑class financial services to drive adoption, retention, and revenue. Financial institutions modernize faster and stay competitive.
Today, finance is fragmented across traditional, centralized, and decentralized finance. Offering the best of finance requires us to unify them first. Unifying them requires a single, neutral settlement standard that works across all three.
Stablecoins are that standard.
