“Can a vertical payment institution own the full financial stack — accounts, cards, credit, insurance, FIDC — for Brazil's fuel supply chain?”
Featbank is a 2023-founded vertical payment institution (IP) regulated by Brazil's central bank (BACEN), purpose-built for the fuel ecosystem — gas stations, fuel distributors, refineries and transporters. Rather than compete as a horizontal neobank, it bundles digital accounts (PF/PJ), collections, cards, an insurance brokerage, an asset/FIDC arm and (upcoming) payroll-deducted lending for the workers of that supply chain. Growth is early but visible: headcount is up +290% YoY to ~75 employees and LinkedIn followers grew nearly 20x in a year.
