The story

Founded in 2015 as a SaaS digital banking channel provider targeting underserved financial institutions in Latin America and emerging markets. Grew from basic web/mobile banking to a full omnichannel suite covering onboarding, conversational banking, and fraud prevention. By 2025–2026, pivoted toward an 'Agentic Banking' positioning, layering AI-driven customer interactions, WhatsApp-based debt collection, and behavioral fraud analytics on top of its existing digital banking infrastructure — shifting from channel software to a broader financial institution operating system.
