Debi (formerly TuCuota)

What Debi (formerly TuCuota) does

Debi, legally Tucuota SAS and rebranded from TuCuota in 2025, is an Argentine payment orchestration company founded in 2015 that automates recurring payment collection for organizations across Latin America. The company operates an API-first cloud platform that validates payment instruments, routes transactions to optimal processors, retries declined payments, and synchronizes results into customer systems of record. Its proprietary BIN database (1.5M+ entries) and AI-driven routing engine select processors and timing per transaction, yielding a documented 32% recovery rate on declined payments and 99% accuracy in card and bank account identification.

The platform is modular, comprising core capabilities in payment validation, intelligent processing and recovery, and real-time metrics, plus add-ons including native Salesforce bidirectional sync, a Sincronización y Datos (Sync and Data) service for warehouse integration, intelligent web forms, a customer self-service portal, and a REST API with webhooks. Debi connects to a broad set of acquirers and networks including Stripe, Mercado Pago, Fiserv, Payway (Prisma), American Express, Visa, and Mastercard, with specialized tokenization and retry logic tuned to Latin American acquirer requirements. The architecture is cloud-based on AWS infrastructure, with optional Parquet snapshot delivery to S3 for Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift.

Debi generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on processed recurring payments, billed monthly, with a premium subscription add-on for the Sync and Data module; pricing is custom and volume-based. The go-to-market is API-first with direct enterprise and mid-market sales, targeting nonprofits and social organizations, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and enterprise businesses, with named customers including INCUPO, Haciendo Camino, Monte Adentro, Fundación Inspirar, the Argentine Red Cross, UNHCR Argentina, ADEN International Business School, and Auxilio24.com. The company is privately held, with cumulative disclosed funding of approximately $490,000 across small accelerator rounds (Embarca, Start-Up Chile, StartUp Perú, AWS Impact Accelerator) and operates with 11–50 employees.

• Spreedly: Spreedly is a payment orchestration platform that lets merchants connect to multiple gateways/processors via a single API, very similar to Debi's multi-processor orchestration model for recurring payments.
