The story

MB Labs began in 2013 as a general software development shop in Campinas, Brazil, and has since repositioned itself as a specialized fintech infrastructure provider. Today it markets a whitelabel banking platform covering cards, benefits, Open Finance, personal lending, Pix, receivables anticipation, banking, investments, and FX — bundled with dedicated engineering squads. It is an enabler/vendor of embedded finance for Brazilian institutions, not an end-consumer fintech.
