The Origins

Maksym’s decade of experience in crypto, finance, and technology revealed to him the lack of future-ready financial infrastructure. Deobank is his solution to that challenge.


Dedicated to creating decentralized systems that are user-centric, inclusive, and globally scalable, he brings the same passion and drive to his work that he once brought as a startup founder.


Now recognized as a global FinTech leader in Dubai, where he champions the future of banking, Maksym seeks to inspire a new wave of Web3 innovators and accelerate the mass adoption of crypto.
