Liquido, the next generation payments company for Latin America, today announced that it has received its payment institution license from the Central Bank of Brazil, marking a significant milestone in its mission to facilitate seamless financial transactions in Latin America’s largest economy. This new achievement allows the company to further possibilities with its comprehensive payment services, enabling directions such as digital-first banking support, full-scale e-wallet management, flexible payment infrastructure, automated FX services, and more.

Liquido’s newly authorized license enables the company to expand services and offer an array of payment-related technology solutions to its customers. The company will leverage this opportunity to enhance the financial landscape in Brazil, as well as other major LatAm countries, providing a customer-oriented and secure platform that caters to the diverse needs of its customers from different verticals.

“This is more than just a regulatory milestone; it’s a testament to Liquido’s unwavering commitment to innovation, security, and customer-centricity in the payment service sector,” said MK Li, Liquido co-founder and CEO. “We look forward to continuing our innovation and contribution to LatAm’s vibrant financial ecosystem and evolving digital payments domain.”
