“Can a cashback-based loyalty layer on top of card payments become the default customer-acquisition engine for Brazilian SMB merchants?”
Beblue is a Brazilian fintech founded in 2016 that combines card payments (Visa/Mastercard debit and credit) with a cashback loyalty layer for small and medium merchants. Consumers pay in-store via the Beblue app and receive real-time cashback as balance to spend at other affiliated merchants, giving Beblue a two-sided loyalty network on top of card acquiring rails. The company remains a relatively small operator (~52 employees) headquartered in Ribeirão Preto with some workforce in Canada.
Beblue is founded in 2016 and headquartered in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil.
