LaFinteca, a leading payments institution with offices in São Paulo and Barcelona, has received a new authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) to operate as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI).
This new license strengthens LaFinteca’s regulatory presence in Latin America and reinforces its long-term strategy of building infrastructure that is transparent, compliant, and trusted by merchants and consumers.
A New Milestone in Brazil
Operating under direct supervision of the Central Bank confirms LaFinteca’s maturity as a payments provider. The EMI license allows the company to advance the next stages of its roadmap, including wallet infrastructure, settlement solutions, and merchant-facing APIs — all aligned with Brazil’s regulatory framework.
“Brazil doesn’t reward shortcuts. It rewards commitment, precision, and compliance. This new license is proof that LaFinteca is ready to operate responsibly in one of the world’s most dynamic payments markets,” said Dmytro Rukin, Founder & CEO of LaFinteca.
Why It Matters
Brazil is the largest fintech market in Latin America, with over 140 million people using digital payments. Innovations such as Pix have reshaped how money moves, and regulatory alignment is what ensures these innovations scale securely.
By expanding its regulatory footprint, LaFinteca positions itself as a reliable partner for merchants, platforms, and global companies looking to enter or grow in the region.
What’s Next
With the license secured, LaFinteca is preparing the infrastructure that will underpin the next generation of payment experiences in Brazil and across LATAM. The company’s goal is to deliver solutions that combine compliance with innovation, helping businesses scale confidently in regulated markets.
This new license is not the finish line. It is the foundation for LaFinteca’s next phase of growth.
