"Since 2021, we have been implementing a robust BaaS and CaaS strategy, which gained decisive momentum with the authorization of our SCD by Bacen in 2023. Now, with the union of two companies that were born digital and share the same purpose, we begin a new era of integration between BaaS and CaaS services into the corporate debt market and credit rights investment funds. We are facing a new chapter for the market, joining forces with a company that shares our vision of building a robust, scalable, and solid financial infrastructure driven by innovation. This integration further strengthens Vórtx's ability to offer complete and efficient solutions for our clients in the credit origination pipeline," says Juliano Cornacchia, CEO of Vórtx.

Over the years, Grafeno Pagamentos built a technological infrastructure that revolutionized the capital markets, which was experiencing significant growth and was in need of digital and innovative solutions.

With this, new opportunities arise, and now we will join forces to expand our portfolio of credit market solutions with a focus on efficiency, agility, security, and above all, commitment to service. The combination of Vórtx's solidity and strength, alongside Grafeno Pagamentos' technology and dedication to delivery, will provide a unique, digital, and service-focused journey, generating greater added value for our clients through complementary financial operations for financial management between creditors and companies," says Ana Luiza Fernandes, CEO of Grafeno Pagamentos.
