“Can a legacy Brazilian surety insurer become the API-native backbone for broker-distributed B2B guarantees?”
Junto Seguros is a 30-year-old Brazilian surety-bond and rental-guarantee insurer that has repositioned itself as an insurtech via a public developer API for brokers. It sells Seguro Garantia (contractual/judicial surety) and Fiança Locatícia (rental bond) exclusively to businesses, operating through 7,000+ brokers rather than direct-to-consumer. Ownership sits with Paraná Banco and Travelers, with Advent International having been a historic PE investor. The embedded-finance angle is API-first broker distribution, not consumer fintech.
