Summary
Cumbuca offers a solution for businesses in Brazil that want to develop their own payment infrastructure without the traditional barriers. Instead of spending years and millions to obtain a payments license or sacrificing independence by using existing providers, Cumbuca provides development flexibility with direct access to Brazil's Open Finance and Pix systems while maintaining full operational control, reduced risk, and flexible pricing. Users can build on official APIs, own their infrastructure and data, customize every layer, and eventually plug in their own certificate if they obtain a license.
