“Can Brazil's leading cross-border remittance app become the embedded FX-as-a-Service layer for Brazilian fintech and SaaS platforms?”
Founded 2016 as a Brazilian cross-border remittance app to undercut bank FX spreads. Expanded into multi-currency Conta Global accounts (EUR, USD) via a Portuguese subsidiary (Bee Tech Europe Unipessoal LDA) and launched FXaaS, a B2B embedded-FX API offering quote + international-transfer infrastructure to partner platforms. Strategic question is whether a regulated Brazilian FX correspondent can become the API layer for cross-border money movement out of and into Brazil.
