The story

Founded in 2020 in Montevideo as Perdury S.A., Bamboo started as a LATAM-focused payment processing platform connecting global merchants to local payment rails across Latin America. The company expanded its regulatory footprint by establishing a Maltese entity for EU/EEA coverage, while building proprietary infrastructure covering 200+ payment methods and 600+ bank connections. With a strategic investment from StoneX Group and the 2026 launch of Global Treasury Solutions, Bamboo is pivoting from pure payment processing toward a unified cross-border treasury and liquidity management platform for global merchants operating in complex emerging markets.
