Barte Raises $8M to Expand Payments Solutions Across Brazil

Handling online payments in Brazil is about to get smoother, thanks to São Paulo-based fintech Barte.

The company just snagged an $8 million Series A round, aiming to expand its cash flow and payments solutions across the country.

For a business that’s grown 70x since its seed round just 18 months ago, this next step feels like a natural leap.

Founded in 2022 by Caetano Lacerda (who’s already edging toward a net worth close to $50 million) and Raphael Dyxklay, Barte has focused on making payments less of a headache for medium and large companies.

Their multichannel payments platform lets businesses sell through various methods—whether that’s online with PIX or right in-store—all while automatically reconciling transactions.

The cherry on top? 

They also offer a white-label infrastructure, letting companies offer embedded payments without the hassle of managing them.

But Barte isn’t just about pushing payments. As Dyxklay notes, it’s about diving into real conversations with clients—covering everything from conversion rates to buyer loyalty.

Payments might be the first thing on the agenda, but it certainly isn’t the last.

With $1 trillion moving through Brazil’s merchant acquiring sector every year, Barte is already handling billions in transactions for clients like Housi, EBAC, and Metalife.

And while the company isn’t in a rush to grow at any cost, their eyes are set on tripling revenue again by 2025. No pressure, right?

It’s not all business, though.

Lacerda humorously hinted that building a “generational company” is like balancing growth with sustainability.

But hey, when you’re raising millions and building game-changing fintech solutions, who’s counting?
