We built the treasury account we wanted to use.
Knurla started in 2024 with two people who had run treasury by spreadsheet for too long. Today 38 of us look after the reserves of 1,412 companies.

02 — How we work
Four rules we
do not bend.
They are written on the wall of both offices, and they decide most arguments.
01
Boring on purpose
We only buy short-term US Treasury bills. We will never chase yield with your runway.
No lending · No leverage
02
Your name on everything
Custody, statements and tax forms are all in your company’s name, never ours.
Segregated custody

run your reserve.
Former treasurers, rates traders, compliance officers and engineers who have all been on the other side of the desk.
