The story

Founded to address the gap in B2B BNPL for Latin American SMEs, Kontempo initially positioned itself as an embedded payments and BNPL fintech. It evolved into a B2B credit infrastructure company — branded as the '#1 Credit CRM for the Industrial Sector' — offering Kontempo360®, a full-stack platform that lets industrial distributors and suppliers launch white-label credit programs for their B2B clients. The company takes on credit risk directly, advancing funds to merchants same-day while providing up to 90-day net terms to buyers.
