“Can a specialty coffee marketplace become the financial infrastructure layer — payments, pre-trade financing, FX, and logistics — for the global green coffee supply chain?”
Founded in 2015 as a B2B marketplace facilitating direct trade between coffee producers and roasters, Algrano has progressively layered financial services onto its supply chain platform. The Grower Capital lending product, backed by a Luxembourg securitisation vehicle (MIR Lux Capital S.à r.l.) and partly powered by finmid, enables pre-payments to producers using Algrano's own proprietary performance data. Payment collection uses Stripe and PayPal on the buyer side with multi-currency treasury handled via amnis, making Algrano an increasingly financialised vertical marketplace for the specialty coffee trade.
Algrano processes payments through Stripe and PayPal. Disclosed money-movement rails: ACH, Wire and SEPA.
Algrano's lending and capital products are provided by Finmid.
Algrano uses amnis for FX and cross-border payouts.
