What EVERTEC does

EVERTEC is a Latin American and Caribbean financial technology and transaction processing company, headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with operations spanning 26+ countries across the region. The company provides payment processing, merchant acquiring, core banking systems, digital payment infrastructure, fraud prevention, tokenization, and business-process solutions to financial institutions, merchants, fintechs, governments, and pension funds. Its proprietary technology stack includes the Smart Switch transaction-routing platform, the Placetopay payment gateway, POS and Smart Terminal hardware, Core Banking systems, digital wallets with QR payments, and AWS-aligned cloud services delivered through subsidiary Nubity. Marquee deployments include core banking and payment processing for Banco Popular Puerto Rico, Itaú, Banco de Chile, NuBank, Davivienda, Santander, and Bancoppel, plus merchant acquiring for Walmart, McDonald's, Cencosud, Mercado Libre, and Grupo Falabella.

The business model combines transaction-based fees from payment processing and merchant acquiring, recurring software licensing for core banking and financial-institution platforms, professional services for system integration and digital transformation, and subscription-based cloud services via Nubity. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through wholly-owned subsidiaries and regional offices, supplemented by channel partners for mid-market clients. The company has executed an aggressive expansion strategy in Brazil through four acquisitions since 2023 (PaySmart, Sinqia, Tecnobank, Dimensa) and has grown laterally into cloud services (Nubity), QR payments (Zunify), and most recently blockchain/digital assets (BBChain).

Founded in 2004 and listed on the NYSE under ticker EVTC, EVERTEC reported FY2025 revenue of approximately US$931.8 million, up 10.2% year-over-year, with Q1 2026 revenue of US$247.9 million (+8.4% YoY). Full-year 2026 revenue guidance of US$1.073-1.085 billion has been raised, implying 15.1-16.4% growth, supported by full-year contribution of recent acquisitions and acceleration in the Latin America segment, which grew 32% reported in Q1 2026. Operational scale is reflected in Mexico's SPEI real-time payment system processing 5.41 billion transactions in 2024 with Evertec as a key technology provider.
