The story

Founded in 2016 as a receivables anticipation platform aiming to undercut Brazilian bank spreads. Acquired by XP Inc. in 2020 to target mid-market and large corporates, then majority-acquired by CERC (Brazilian credit registry) in 2024 to position around the new Duplicata Escritural electronic-invoice regime. The product is a buyer-driven supply-chain finance / dynamic discounting marketplace connecting corporate buyers, their suppliers, and multiple capital sources (banks, FIDCs).
