Who is Alex Sicart Ramos and what does he do?

Alex Sicart Ramos (Barcelona) is a technology entrepreneur. He is co-founder and CEO of Bennu, whose software is built by Bennu Edge LLC (New Mexico, USA), and founder of Unicorn Payments, a software, systems and IT consulting brand with companies in Spain, the United States and the United Arab Emirates. He was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list (Technology, Europe) in 2017 as CTO of Sharge. He operates between Barcelona and Dubai.

Which jurisdictions are the entities incorporated in, and in what legal form?

Spain: Unicorn Payments S.L., a private limited company. United States: Unicorn Payments LLC and Bennu Edge LLC, both incorporated in New Mexico. United Arab Emirates: Unicorn Payments FZE, established in Sharjah with a technology scope. Certificates of incorporation, trade licences and corporate documents are provided to the financial institution through a secure channel on request.

What is the nature of the business and where does the income come from?

Activity is identified by entity. Unicorn Payments S.L. holds and manages equity interests on its own account and provides business consulting and advice on its own account, without intermediation. Unicorn Payments LLC's activities cover software development and engineering, IT consulting and technology infrastructure. Unicorn Payments FZE markets and designs software and provides IT consulting under its current licence. Income described in this summary comes from software development and licensing contracts, professional services and the founder's participation in companies; each entity substantiates its activity and income with its own documentation.

Are any financial, payment or third-party custody services provided?

alexsicart.com is informational. Unicorn Payments is a software, systems and IT consulting brand; each company retains its registered or licensed activity and does not present itself as an intermediary moving third-party funds. BENNU EDGE LLC operates the Bennu platform as its primary counterparty and develops its technology, but Bennu does not custody funds or private keys. Fiat and payment services belong to the Bridge or Transak entity identified in the flow, or to Iron only where it is expressly enabled and identified.

Is he a politically exposed person (PEP) or subject to sanctions?

Alex Sicart Ramos declares that he does not hold and has not held a prominent public function, is not a close family member or known close associate of a politically exposed person, and is not aware of being listed on any sanctions or restrictive-measures list of the EU, UN, OFAC (USA), the United Kingdom or the UAE. This is a self-declaration and does not replace the independent screening carried out by the financial institution.

What documents are provided to a bank during onboarding?

After the request and intended recipient have been confirmed, the relevant financial institution may receive the following through a secure channel: valid passport and national identity document, proof of address, certificates of incorporation and trade licences for each entity, constitutional documents and ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) structure, group chart, description of activity and expected account flows, bank and professional references, and a CV with corroborating references. Original documents prevail over this summary.

How should a compliance team get in touch?

By email to hello@alexsicart.com, stating the financial institution, the jurisdiction, the point of contact and the specific list of documents required. Compliance and onboarding requests are reviewed according to their scope and security requirements; response timing depends on the request and documents needed.

3. Corporate structure and roles

Two independent brands, with companies separated by jurisdiction and responsibilities that do not mix. The narrative detail is in companies and structure.

Bennu — operator and product software

My role: Co-founder & CEO
Founded: December 2024
Operator and primary counterparty: BENNU EDGE LLC
Limited support and current privacy controller: Bennu Edge, S.L. — Spain · Tax ID B75909697
Jurisdiction: New Mexico, United States
Legal form: Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Activity: Software development and maintenance; operation of the non-custodial Bennu technology platform
Corporate reference for bank KYC/KYB: bennuedge.io
Product website: bennu.app — user interface, not the corporate website or evidence of a licence

A naming precision that matters for entity screening: there are two distinct companies under the Bennu Edge brand. BENNU EDGE LLC, incorporated in New Mexico (USA), operates the platform, is the primary counterparty, and develops its technology, support, and commercial services. Bennu Edge, S.L. provides limited administrative and operational support and remains the controller described in the current privacy policy. They must be screened and documented as separate entities.

Unicorn Payments — software, systems and IT consulting

My role: Founder
Brand: Software, systems and IT consulting
Spain · Unicorn Payments S.L.: Holding and administering shareholdings on its own account; business consulting and advisory services on its own account, without intermediation.
United States · Unicorn Payments LLC: Software development and engineering, IT consulting, software solutions and technology infrastructure, as stated in its formation filing.
UAE · Unicorn Payments FZE: Software trading and design and IT consulting, as identified in its current Sharjah trade licence.
Website and sources: unicornpay.app/en/verification · scope by jurisdiction

Note on the name: “Payments” is part of a trade name and does not imply authorisation to provide payment services. The brand positioning does not replace each entity's registered or licensed activity or transfer one company's scope to another. Original documents prevail.

Ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO)

Alex Sicart Ramos is the founder of the companies described and acts on his own behalf; he does not act as a nominee, trustee or undisclosed representative of third parties. The full ownership chain, shareholding percentages and beneficial ownership certificates for each company are evidenced documentarily to the financial institution on request, as this data is not published openly.

4. Nature of business and revenue model

The business is building software: product, interface and digital infrastructure. Income comes from three ordinary, traceable sources:

Software development and licensing — product engineering contracts and licence agreements over proprietary software.
Professional consulting services — systems and IT, invoiced per project or per period to corporate clients.
Founder's participation — remuneration and results from the operating companies in which he is a shareholder and director.

Counterparties are companies and professionals; there is no cash-intensive activity, no currency exchange business, and no intermediation of third-party funds. Expected flows through a corporate account are client receipts for services and licences, and payments to suppliers, payroll, taxes and operating expenses. Corporate accounts are not used to hold or transmit customer principal. Documented arm's-length corporate or intercompany payments —such as services, expense reimbursements, contributions, or distributions— may occur where applicable. Each company gives its bank its actual profile of currencies, countries, volumes, income, and expense categories.

5. Source of wealth and source of funds

Source of wealth. Built over a continuous, publicly documented track record of software product creation that began in 2013: a first product at age 13 (Students Manager, winner of the Start-Up School in Catalonia), Sharge as co-founder and CTO in 2016 —in collaboration with Audi and winner of the Audi Creativity Challenge—, FileNation in 2017, Shasta in 2018, and since December 2024 Bennu, alongside Unicorn Payments. The Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition (Technology, Europe, 2017) came from the CTO role at Sharge and is verifiable at the original source.

Source of funds. Remuneration and results from software and IT consulting companies held by the individual, plus invoicing of professional technology services. Statements, annual accounts, contracts and supporting evidence are provided to the financial institution on request.

6. Activities not carried out

This section summarises the information a compliance team usually needs. alexsicart.com and the Unicorn Payments companies do not:

Provide banking, payment, investment, financial advisory or third-party custody services for funds or assets.
Accept deposits, hold client balances, or execute transactions on behalf of third parties.
Operate as a currency exchange, a virtual asset service provider on behalf of others, or a remittance intermediary.
Solicit investment, market financial instruments, or make public offerings.
Handle cash, or operate in higher-risk sectors such as gambling, arms, adult content or resource extraction.

This list concerns this personal website and the technology activity of Unicorn Payments. Bennu is described separately below. The full detail is in the legal notice.

7. Regulatory perimeter

The distinction matters and is kept precise throughout the documentation: BENNU EDGE LLC operates a non-custodial technology platform and builds its software. Bennu does not receive or administer users' private keys and must separately assess, with applicable regulatory counsel, any functionality that may constitute a regulated crypto-asset or financial service.

Depending on the selected flow, a specific third-party entity may provide one or more fiat, payment, virtual-account, or on/off-ramp functions. Before activation, the flow must identify the service, legal provider, terms, and territory. Bridge, Transak, and Iron are possible integrations; this does not mean that each brand supplies every function or is available in every country. Provider status is not a Bennu licence. BENNU EDGE LLC does not claim to hold a MiCA CASP authorisation, a UAE virtual-asset or financial-services licence, or a US money-transmitter licence. That attribution does not replace the regulatory analysis of the platform operator's own functions. The availability depends on the provider and the user's country, and may not exist in a given jurisdiction. No commercial name of the brands described should be read as a regulatory authorisation.

8. Declarations by the individual

The following are declarations by Alex Sicart Ramos, made in good faith and to the best of his knowledge. They do not replace the independent screening the financial institution must carry out, and will be confirmed in writing and signed in whatever format the institution requires.

Politically exposed person: Does not hold and has not held a prominent public function, and is not a close family member or known close associate of a PEP.
Sanctions: Is not aware that he or his companies appear on any sanctions or restrictive-measures list of the EU, UN, OFAC (USA), the United Kingdom or the UAE.
Criminal record: Declares that he has no convictions for financial crime, money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud or corruption.
Proceedings: As of the cut-off date, declares that he is not aware of ongoing regulatory, insolvency or enforcement proceedings against Alex Sicart Ramos, BENNU EDGE LLC, Bennu Edge, S.L. or the current Unicorn Payments companies. This statement does not cover previous corporate projects and remains subject to independent verification.
Acting on own behalf: Acts in his own name and on behalf of his companies; not as a nominee or undisclosed representative of third parties.
Cooperation: Undertakes to provide supporting documentation and to report any material change in structure or activity.

9. Documents available on request

The relevant financial institution may receive these documents, after the request and intended recipient have been verified, through a secure channel, in English or Spanish and, where applicable, legalised or apostilled:

Valid passport and national identity document.
Recent proof of address and, where applicable, UAE residency documentation.
Certificates of incorporation and trade licences for each company (Spain, USA, UAE).
Constitutional documents, memoranda of association, and register of shareholders and directors.
Group structure chart and ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) declaration with percentages.
Description of activity, typical client base and expected account flows.
Annual accounts, statements and contracts evidencing source of funds.
Bank and professional references, and a CV with corroborating references.

In the event of any discrepancy, the original documentation always prevails over the explanatory summary on this page.

10. Independent verification

Public sources that allow the track record to be checked without relying on this website:

Official Forbes profile — 30 Under 30 recognition, Technology, Europe (2017).
Crunchbase — professional profile and associated companies.
LinkedIn — track record, roles and dates.
GitHub and FileNation — public technical work (860+ stars; Hacker News front page).
Press kit — biographies, verified timeline and media material.
PGP public key — for encrypted communication if the institution requires it.

11. Compliance contact

Write to hello@alexsicart.com stating the financial institution, jurisdiction, point of contact and the specific list of documents required. Requests from compliance and onboarding teams are reviewed according to their scope and security requirements; response timing depends on the request and documents needed. If the institution requires an encrypted channel or its own questionnaire, the requested format can be coordinated.

12. Scope of this document

This page is an informational summary prepared to speed up due diligence processes. It is not a certification, a legal opinion or a regulatory filing, and it does not replace each company's official documentation or the analysis each financial institution must carry out under its own rules and risk appetite. The information is maintained in good faith; the date of last review appears in the header.
