The story
TQI is a 30+ year old Brazilian IT services and consulting firm, not an embedded finance operator. It provides software engineering, cloud, data & analytics, and AI/ML services to enterprise clients — including major Brazilian banks and financial institutions where it has helped implement Pix and other payment integrations. TQI Ventures is a small corporate venture arm investing in B2B startups. It is a service provider TO the financial sector, not a financial product operator itself.
