Brazil has witnessed a rapid increase in digitalization, driven by the growing adoption of smartphones and internet connectivity. With over 134 million smartphone users and approximately 149 million internet users as of 2021, there is a vast market for embedded finance solutions. The proliferation of digital channels provides a conducive environment for the expansion of embedded finance offerings.
The substantial growth the embedded insurance space has experienced in Brazil can be primarily attributed to the growing number of insurtech firms emerging in the country. The number of insurtech firms has reached more than 200 in 2020, from less than 100 in 2017. The rising popularity of embedded insurance policies is pushing Brazilian start-ups to leverage this rapid growth by raising funds. Capital infusion in the embedded insurance sector is projected to support the country's overall insurance penetration rate.
Growth Driver in Brazil: Brazil boasts a high smartphone penetration rate, creating a fertile ground for mobile-based embedded finance solutions. The number of smartphone users in Brazil surpassed 155 million in 2023, indicating a vast market for digital financial services.
Expanding Fintech Ecosystem: Brazil's fintech ecosystem has been rapidly expanding, with a surge in the number of startups offering innovative financial products and services. According to Statista, Brazil ranked third globally in terms of the number of fintech startups in 2020, with over 1,100 active companies. This vibrant ecosystem fosters competition and drives the development of embedded finance solutions tailored to the needs of Brazilian consumers and businesses.
Financial Inclusion Initiatives: Despite advancements in digital banking, a significant portion of Brazil's population remains underserved by traditional financial institutions. Embedded finance has the potential to bridge this gap by providing inclusive and accessible financial services to underserved communities. By leveraging technologies such as mobile banking and digital wallets, embedded finance solutions can reach unbanked and underbanked populations, driving financial inclusion efforts in the country.
Major Innovation and Partnership in Brazil:
Market players are increasingly combining their expertise and developing new embedded payments solutions to capture the massive untapped population in Brazil.
In Jul 2023, Card issuer Marqeta entered Latin America’s largest FinTech market with its expansion into Brazil. The expansion is happening via a partnership with Latin American banking-as-a-service (BaaS) platform Fitbank and network certification with Visa. The expansion means Marqeta’s platform is operational in more than 40 counties, according to the release. With Fitbank, Marqeta’s customers get access to a platform licensed by Brazil’s central bank and directly integrated with PIX, the country’s real-time payments system.
In February 2022, VEF invested USD 12.2 Mn in Gringo, Brazil’s leading ‘super-app’ for driver, serving over 5 Mn drivers. VEF led Gringo’s USD 34 Mn Series B round with co-investment from Piton Capital, ICU, and participation from existing investors Kaszek, GFC and OneVC.
In November 2020, Brazil-based fintech company EBANX and ride-hailing app Uber announced a partnership on PIX, a payment system launched by the Brazilian government. Under this partnership, EBANX will address Uber clients' needs of payments, localization, and good user experience through their solutions. Since a large population of Brazil does not have a bank account, Uber's clients are anticipated to benefit from the newly introduced instant payment platforms, and EBANX is expected to use Uber's existing client base.
- In August 2020, online marketplace company MercadoLibre Inc. (MELI) launched a product to insure cell phones in Brazil. The insurance policy allows users to insure their smartphone screens or buy a complete robbery or theft coverage.
Launched in São Paulo in 2019, Dinie is a pioneering fintech that offers embedded lending and digital working capital to MSMEs and merchants on e-commerce platforms. And in a country where less than 5% of startups are founded by women, Dinie is 100% women-led.
