Founders & story · from Kushki’s own dossier

Founded 2017 in Ecuador as an online payment gateway for LATAM, Kushki has progressively built its own regional acquiring infrastructure rather than reselling banks' rails — making it a non-bank acquirer across Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru and Ecuador. After back-to-back Series B rounds ($186M total) that vaulted it to unicorn status in 2022, the company expanded from PSP-style gateway services into payouts, in-person devices, and merchant-financing partnerships (Anticipa, HayCash). The strategic identity today is 'paytech omnichannel acquirer for LATAM' rather than a single-country gateway.

Latest round: Series B extension, 2022
