Nimrod Lehavi is the CEO and co-founder of Simplex, a payment infrastructure company that enables cryptocurrency purchases via credit and debit cards with built-in fraud prevention.
Simplex
Simplex provides fiat-to-crypto payment rails used by many of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms, including Binance, KuCoin, and others. The company’s fraud prevention technology allows platforms to accept credit card payments for cryptocurrency while minimizing chargebacks — solving a key problem that had limited fiat on-ramps to crypto.
Simplex was acquired by Nuvei, a Canadian fintech company, in 2021, expanding its reach in the regulated payments space.
Background
Lehavi is a board member of the Israeli Bitcoin Association and previously founded Lehavi Solutions, a software boutique providing enterprise technology solutions.
