Why We Started
BackChannel was founded in 2021 by a team of engineers and compliance specialists who had spent years watching Brazilian companies lose money, time, and competitive advantage to broken international payments infrastructure. We knew the problem was solvable — and that no one was solving it at the infrastructure layer.
Our mission is simple: give every Brazilian business — from a two-person SaaS startup to a publicly listed exporter — the same cross-border payments capabilities that global banks reserve for their largest enterprise clients. Fast settlement, clean compliance, transparent pricing, and an API that developers actually enjoy using.
Today, BackChannel processes over R$2 billion annually across 40+ payment corridors throughout Latin America, North America, and Europe. We are regulated by BACEN, headquartered in Sao Paulo, and laser-focused on one thing: making your money move.
