Banfico CEO Kannan Rasappan said: “Establishing a subsidiary in Brazil was the next logical step to leverage on our past achievements and know-how from the implementation of open banking in the UK and Europe to Latin America’s largest economy.
“This also shows our commitment to the open banking projects in other world regions that we are closely monitoring”.
Notably, the open banking enabler had been operating in Brazil in partnership with Câmara Interbancária de Pagamentos (CIP), the clearinghouse for the Brazilian Payments System.
Through its partnership with CIP, Banfico has been offering open banking services to lenders such as Citibank, JP Morgan, and Bank of America.
