Strengthening Cartos' position as a pioneer in Banking as a Service

Case Banking as a Service - Cartos

With more than 13 years of experience, Cartos specializes in Banking as a Service (BaaS). Authorized by the Brazilian Central Bank in 2019, it has overcome challenges to democratize access to credit through high-quality, secure financial services. In partnership with Luby, Cartos enhanced its products and implemented innovative BaaS solutions.

How we contributed to Cartos' growth

Innovation

Financial Innovation

After receiving its financial institution license, Cartos faced challenges in adapting to its new business. Initially partnering with another provider, it switched to Luby to find a partner that could raise product standards and overcome obstacles.

We evaluated the existing application and rebuilt it from the ground up. Following a clear roadmap, we formed four multi-disciplinary teams to develop a scalable, highly available, fault-tolerant architecture using AWS serverless and microservices.

Key integrations included:

  • SPB

    Brazilian payment system

  • SPI

    Instant Payment System

  • PSTI

    IT Service Provider System

The app included core Internet banking features such as TEDs, providing a secure system for account opening, banking, and monitoring via mobile and web. This enabled Cartos to offer premium banking services.
