Alexey Vasiliev, co-founder of Blank Bank, after a successful exit, joined the team of Platim.ru – a payment service for information businesses. This was reported to RB.RU in the press service of the company.
He became a senior manager of the company, taking over as CFO and received 6% of the company’s shares. In his new role, Vasiliev will manage the service’s finances and strategic development.
In June 2023, the four founders of Blank Bank – Alexey Vasiliev, Anton Zakharov, Dmitry Salatov, Robert Sabiryanov – left the project to move on. Blank will be more closely integrated with MKB’s fintech services.
- Platim was founded in April 2021 and launched as a mass payment service for freelancers, but in 2022 the company announced a business model change and began developing its fintech solutions. Now the project is positioning itself as a service for accepting Russian and foreign payments with its own marketplace for promoting and selling products.
- In December 2022, Platim closed the third round of investments for 23.4 million rubles. The startup’s valuation after the deal was $2.55 million.
