About Roma

We're Building the Future of Finance. Come Help Us Do It Right.

The global financial system is being rewired. Stablecoins and tokenised assets are no longer experimental — they're becoming the default infrastructure for enterprise payments, treasury, and settlement. VARA framework in UAE and advancing stablecoin legislation in the US confirm what's already happening on the ground: digital money rails are going mainstream.

Roma sits at this inflection point, building the default financial infrastructure platform that enterprises trust with their most critical workflows: real-time global payments, stablecoin orchestration, and treasury management across fiat and digital assets.

Founded in 2022 by Amit Jain (IIT Delhi, Stanford, Managing Director at Sequoia Capital, Head of Asia Pacific at Uber), Roma is backed by a $22M seed round from Sequoia Capital, Dara Khosrowshahi (CEO, Uber), Tony Xu (CEO, DoorDash), and other global leaders.

We operate at the intersection of technology, regulation, and global financial systems — where the hardest, most meaningful problems live. Our platform enables enterprises to:

• Accept, store, convert, and pay using stablecoin infrastructure

• Run global banking operations with virtual dollar accounts

• Execute end-to-end global fiat payments across 90+ currencies

• Invest in traditional treasury and digital assets with a single source of truth across entities

We're already trusted by Binance, DoorDash, Ontop, Solana Foundation, and Noon — and we're just getting started.
