According to a blog post by the company earlier this month, Multis banking accounts are being built on the Ethereum blockchain and are non-custodial, meaning users can access their funds at any point.

Multis representatives said the startup will use the funding to "bridge crypto with USD & EUR to build the future of business banking," by integrating traditional currency features onto the platform.
