“The acquisition will strengthen our competitive positioning in the US fintech market. We’ll be using USEND’s solutions and our digital banking know-how to become the first Brazilian company in the segment to set foot firmly in the United States,” he added.
“USEND and Inter share the same mission and values: To make people’s lives easier, serving all customers’ needs in a world without borders. This transaction is a unique milestone in our company’s history, and I am sure that, together, we will be able to create a very strong global platform,” stated USEND’s CEO, Fernando Fayzano.
Upon receiving all regulatory approvals, the integration of the two companies will result on having an Inter platform that offers both financial and non-financial products to Brazilian and other immigrant clients living abroad, Brazilian clients wanting to have international products, and the US population in general seeking to gain the benefits from having access to a super App. The USEND acquisition will accelerate Inter’s offering in the US.
