CURITIBA, BRAZIL, February 10, 2022 – Today, February 10th, EBANX, the leading payments platform in Latin America, celebrates 10 years since its founding as it closes in on a major milestone of one billion payments processed across 15 countries.
The Brazilian fintech, co-founded by Alphonse Voigt, João Del Valle and Wagner Ruiz in 2012, began its journey by offering cash vouchers as a payment method to international e-commerce sites that wanted to sell goods in Latin America, became the first unicorn in the southern region of Brazil and a reference for payments processing across the region. Currently, it counts more than 1,000 global companies as part of its customer base, and more than 70 million Latin Americans have made purchases using its payment solutions.
"In these 10 years, we have been able to witness important transformations in the digital market, in the payments industry, and in innovation ecosystems around the world. We are pleased to have actively participated in these movements in Brazil and Latin America, using cutting-edge technology and local knowledge," said João Del Valle, co-founder and CEO of EBANX. "Today is the day to celebrate all the achievements so far – but, above all – to outline the new challenges ahead, always with the clear mission of creating more access between people and companies from all over the world."
With offices in ten countries today, EBANX grew more than 110 percent in processed volume in 2021, and will continue to focus on offering the best products and services to its global customers, expanding its operations, and maintaining the consistent growth of its operations.
