This interview was conducted with Dmitry Shklovsky, Co-Founder of Quicknode.
“We needed a banking partner that actually understands crypto. Meow is the only one that does… reliably, at our scale.”
THE PROBLEM — Banking as a crypto infrastructure company at scale
Q: What challenges did Quicknode face before Meow?
A:
Other fintechs and banks were fine. None of them had as many crypto features embedded natively on top of the checking account. Meow just works, a polished product.
Q: What was missing from your setup?
A:
A business checking account that comes with a native USDC and USDT on and offramp, multi-national entity support, and a private Slack channel. Meow has it all.
THE MEOW OFFERING
Meow provides Quicknode with a complete business banking and payments platform, including access to a U.S. FDIC-insured business checking account from its partner bank, purpose-built for crypto-native companies operating at scale.
- Native USDC & USDT Support — Send and receive USDC and USDT directly from the cash balance on Ethereum, Solana, and Base, eliminating the need for separate custodians or exchange accounts.
- Stablecoin Invoicing — Generate and send invoices in USDC or USDT, with funds settling as dollars in the business checking account, syncing natively with accounting software.
- SWIFT & International Payouts — Send and receive international payments across 150+ countries from the business checking account to support Quicknode's global team.
- Fee-Free ACH & Domestic Wires — Full access to U.S. payment rails directly from the FDIC-insured account with zero transaction fees.
- Unified Dashboard — Manage all financial activity, including invoicing, payments, approvals, and balances, in one place.
“Meow is the most crypto friendly business banking fintech I’ve ever seen."
