Brazil Fintech Sector Report 2025-2026

In 2024, Brazil led Latin America in terms of the number of fintech companies, reaching a total of 1,706, according to data from Distrito. It also recorded the highest number of investment deals in the region, with 1,157 in the same year. This rapid expansion of fintechs can be attributed to regulatory progress, as well as the widespread use of technology and internet access among the population. Fintechs have played a key role in promoting financial inclusion. According to a Mastercard survey of 306 individuals in Brazil, in a report published in November 2024, 58% of respondents said that fintechs gave them access to financial products that were previously unavailable to them. Additionally, fintechs have made significant strides in consumer education initiatives as part of their efforts to build trust and address ongoing security concerns, which is one of the main barriers to broader adoption.
