The story

Founded in October 2018 in São Paulo, Swap set out to be the embedded finance infrastructure layer for Latin American companies, offering APIs that allow non-financial businesses to embed banking, card, and payment products into their platforms. The company bills itself as a 'fintech factory' for LatAm, enabling its customers to monetize their user bases through white-labeled financial products without needing to build the underlying regulated infrastructure themselves. Its Series A from Tiger Global in 2021 validated the embedded finance infrastructure thesis for the Brazilian and broader Latin American market.
