About KOHO

KOHO provides consumer financial services and is pursuing a Schedule 1 banking licence. In October 2026, CEO Daniel Eberhard told BetaKit that the company was nearing the end of its licensing effort and would not offer prediction markets. This interview does not confirm that the licence has been granted. KOHO’s own June 2026 announcement disclosed $130 million in capital at a $1.33 billion valuation; that raise is historical context for the October story, not a newly announced round.
