About

A small, focused team building a calmer way to earn on stablecoins.

Northvault is operated by a regulated entity in the European Union with an explicit, narrow product focus: USDC and USDT yield, sourced from European business loans, with originator buyback protection. No tokens. No leverage games. No US users.

Operating entity

Northvault operates under a Lithuanian crypto-asset service provider authorization, with cross-border reach via the EU framework.

Where we serve

The European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the UAE, and select non-restricted jurisdictions. Not available in the United States or sanctioned countries.

How we're funded

Bootstrapped, then private equity-backed. We don't accept investments contingent on aggressive growth that compromises underwriting discipline.

Principles

Three things we won't compromise on.

Underwriting discipline over volume

We say no more often than yes. Originators who can't sustain conservative buyback terms don't make the cut.

Transparency over marketing

If a number is variable, we say variable. If it's not guaranteed, we say so. The transparency page exists for a reason.

Boring infrastructure

Multi-sig custody. Daily reconciliation. KYC enforced. Boring, audited, observable.

Team

Built by people who've operated regulated financial products.

A small team with deep experience in fintech operations, payments, and lending. Public bios will be added as the team grows.
