EmpreX
EmpreX: Innovation in lending for millions of underserved workers in Latin America
EmpreX is a Brazilian B2C digital lending firm focused on using technology to provide better loans to the country’s underserved 100 million+ middle class segment.
In an environment where the banking system is restricting credit access to the highest income segments and where alternative FinTech lenders are targeting subprime borrowers with interest rates of several hundred percent per year, EmpreX is filling a huge unmet demand for affordable loans.
With its proprietary technology, the firm is harnessing the power of the recent Open Banking regulatory changes in the region to perform a deeper analysis of a borrower’s financial situation and translate it to accessible, customized loan offers.
EmpreX is rapidly scaling its operations on the way to their series A, with the goal to become a recognized brand name in Latin America and the go-to provider for personal loans and other financial products for the middle class.
