Kea Neobanking Group Heads to Consensus 2026 to Bridge the East-West Gap with its "Human-Touch" Banking Model
press release
As global banking becomes increasingly automated, a dangerous "compliance vacuum" has emerged. Innovative companies in Asia frequently face "algorithmic exclusion"-where rigid, AI-only compliance systems freeze legitimate cross-border transactions without context or recourse. Kea's arrival marks a shift back to Human Intelligence (HI) as a premium service.
Solving the SME Crisis
Traditional banks often reject small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and tech scale-ups due to perceived high risks and low margins. This risk-aversion has created a multi-trillion dollar gap in trade finance. Kea solves this by providing:
Contextual Compliance: Unlike "Black Box" AI, Kea's human experts review complex cases, ensuring that innovative business models aren't blocked by outdated algorithms.
Fast-Track Onboarding: Reducing the months-long wait times at traditional banks to typically several days for corporate accounts.
The Asia-Global Corridor: Seamless integration of multi-currency IBANs and stablecoin liquidity to facilitate real-time trade between Asia and the rest of the world.
"The $2.5 trillion trade finance gap isn't a tech failure; it's an empathy failure," says Mark Berkovich, CEO at Kea. "Traditional banks are too scared to touch SMEs, and digital banks are too automated to understand them. At Kea, we use tech to move money, but we use humans to build trust. We're going to Consensus to show Asia's founders that they finally have a partner who speaks their language."
Kea will be showcasing its hybrid model at Consensus 2026, offering exclusive previews of its localized Asian payment rails for institutional partners and high-growth founders.
