Bankme, a credit infrastructure fintech for "min banks", has just raised a further R$7.4 million from venture capital manager DOMO.VC. In a statement, the fintech said that the funding will enable the development of a new product, divided into the Redesconto and Aporte fronts. On the first front, a rediscount of financial securities operated by Mini Banco will be established, thus guaranteeing immediate liquidity for operations. The second allows Bankme to increase Min Banco's capital under management by up to four times. With this, the client can capitalise and generate more business.
"We know that one of the biggest challenges for those who want to undertake credit is the lack of capital. With the funds from this round, we're going to invest in technology and people to develop the rediscount and contribution area. This way, we'll expand our service on this front," says André Bravo, Bankme's COO.
The fintech is also studying the structuring of a "lock" for credit card receivables, with an undefined launch date.
The Mini Banks allow entrepreneurs in the credit sector who previously only carried out receivables anticipation to also work with loans and financing with the issue of bank credit notes (CCB), as well as other resources.
The start-up currently has 70 Mini Banks under management. According to Bankme, the goal is to become "a leader in knowledge, product portfolio and capital" for those who want to enter the credit market.
"We want to offer a complete alternative for our customers, with Mini Banks equipped with all the credit products for those who want to enter this market. The idea is to consolidate Bankme as a hub where entrepreneurs in the financial world can find everything they need to offer credit safely, efficiently and profitably," adds Eik.
In August 2022, Bankme completed a seed round made up of DOMO.VC, Apex Partners, Bamboo Capital Markets, as well as startup investor and mentor Aury Ronan Francisco. Since then, the fintech company has followed through on plans to allow clients to offer new types of credit to their public, which until then had only been granted to traditional banks and involved a lot of red tape.
"We believe in growth at high multiples, both in revenue and cash generation and in valuation, over the next 12 to 18 months," says DOMO.VC partner Felipe Andrade.
