Shachar Bialick is founder and CEO of Curve, the London-based banking platform that combines your credit, debit and loyalty cards in one smart app.

Shachar built Curve with a simple mission: to simplify and unify the way people spend, send, see and save money. With 3M customers, over 500 employees and partners like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Mastercard and Checkout.Com, Curve is growing rapidly. It recently completed its Series C funding round, bringing the total raised in investment so far to $175m. Curve is currently live in 31 European countries, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Portugal, Norway and Sweden. Its highly anticipated US launch is scheduled for the end of 2021.

Before launching Curve, Shachar built and led several companies in healthcare, finance, e-commerce and mobile telecommunications. Shachar, who holds an MBA from INSEAD, founded his first startup at the age of 21 after leaving the Israeli military.
