By GlobalData“We look forward to further expanding our platform and bringing RecargaPay to a broader market with the support of our investors and our growing international team.”
Founded in 2010, RecargaPay enables its users to pay bills, send and receive money, and apply for micro-loans. The platform can also be used to refill city bus and metro accounts.
In 2018, the company secured $22m in a Series B funding round.
IDC Ventures managing partner Bobby Aitkenhead said: “Access to loans, credit cards, and other forms of debt remains elusive for many in Brazil and other countries in Latin America, and the region’s digital payments infrastructure has historically been deeply fragmented – RecargaPay is a silver bullet that enables instant, cost effective payments rails and access to credit for all Brazilians.
“I look forward to further scaling RecargaPay in 2021 to bring its robust ecosystem to many more people and small businesses.”
