R2 announced its expansion into Brazil, marking the company's entry into Latin America's largest economy. With the support of Ant International, a leading global digital payment, digitisation and FinAI solutions provider, R2 will partner with digital platforms across Brazil to embed working capital solutions directly into the products their merchants and gig workers already use.

For digital platforms, marketplaces, payment providers, ecommerce companies, and others serving SMBs and gig workers, R2 provides a proven embedded credit technology solution that enables them to offer financing to their users without building credit operations themselves, and without taking on credit risk. The result is a new revenue stream and a stronger value proposition for their merchant base. For the businesses and workers those platforms serve, it means access to working capital based on how they actually perform, not on documentation that most of them don't have.

"Brazil is a defining milestone in R2's growth. The country combines one of the world's most advanced digital financial ecosystems with enormous demand for embedded finance. Together with Ant International, we share a deep commitment to expanding financial inclusion across Latin America, connecting digital platforms with the tools they need to bring working capital to the millions of businesses and individuals that drive the region's economy," said Roger Larach, Co-founder and CEO of R2.

Built for Regional Scale

R2 enters Brazil with technology and operational systems refined across four markets, industries, and economic cycles.
