The story

Fastcash is a Brazilian payment processing platform founded in 2012 that built a cash-in / cash-out network across Brazil (445K cash-in points, 57K cash-out points via lottery agents, ATMs, retailers and post offices) and layered PIX, boleto, wallet and white-label 'maquininha' (POS) products on top. It positions itself as embedded financial infrastructure ('Sua Wallet' — white-label wallets, cards and micro-credit) sold to fintechs, banks and corporates that want to launch branded financial products in Brazil.
