We built the financial infrastructure traditional finance deserves
As the internet transformed commerce, we scaled payment infrastructure to billions in transaction volume across global financial institutions. But we watched enterprise clients struggle with a fundamental problem: moving money across borders was still slow, expensive, and opaque, even as everything else went digital.
3-7 day settlements. Hidden correspondent banking fees. Manual compliance workflows. The infrastructure hadn't evolved while everything else had.
We built Canvas to change that.
Our leadership
Leadership built for trusted financial infrastructure
Founded by David and Daniel Lavecky, Canvas brings together leaders across payments, financial markets, risk and compliance to build infrastructure institutions can trust.
David has spent more than two decades building payments infrastructure for global financial institutions. As COO and EVP of Pure Commerce, he helped scale the business to billions in transaction volume before its acquisition by Euronet, and now leads Canvas's product and growth strategy.
Daniel founded and led Pure Commerce from inception to its acquisition by Euronet, building payments infrastructure used by major financial institutions. He brings more than 20 years of fintech experience to Canvas, guiding the company's strategy, governance and long-term direction.
Monique brings 30 years of experience across financial-services risk, compliance, governance and regulatory change. At Canvas, she leads enterprise risk management, regulatory compliance and governance frameworks that support resilient, sustainable growth.
Our Thesis
Financial Markets are evolving.
Money is moving to digital formats.
Financial Assets are being tokenized.
New solutions are needed by Markets and Governments to support this digital evolution.
Our Approach
While global commerce moves at internet speed, the financial rails underneath still run on decades-old infrastructure: 3-7 day settlements, hidden fees, fragmented compliance. Stablecoins solved the technology problem with instant settlement and programmable money, but enterprises needed more than crypto experiments. They needed institutional-grade infrastructure with the reliability and compliance they're accustomed to.
Canvas is that infrastructure: enterprise payment rails, treasury operations, and developer APIs that make stablecoin payments work like traditional finance, only faster and cheaper.
