Inter & Co

What Inter & Co does

Inter & Co (NASDAQ: INTR), formerly Banco Inter S.A., is a publicly traded Brazilian holding company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Belo Horizonte. Operating through Banco Inter S.A. and a network of wholly-owned subsidiaries, the company has evolved from a traditional bank into a digital financial services platform organized around a Super App that serves 43.1 million customers as of Q4 2025. The portfolio spans digital accounts (Conta Digital, Conta MEI, Conta Kids), payments and Pix acquiring through Inter Pag, securities brokerage via Inter Securities/DTVM, insurance intermediation through Inter Corretora, asset management, a marketplace (Inter Shop), a telecom product (Inter Cel), a food subscription (Inter Duo Gourmet), and a virtual assets subsidiary (Inter Digital Assets). The Stack uses Open Finance APIs and biometric authentication and is delivered through a mobile-first interface with no physical branches.

Beyond Brazil, Inter has built an integrated cross-border operation. A Cayman Islands branch of Banco Inter (authorized by CIMA as a category B banking institution) provides USD-denominated accounts (Cayman Account) and international Mastercard debit and credit cards (Global Cards) to non-U.S. residents. In the United States — where Inter operates through Inter & Co Payments, Inc., Inter US Finance LLC, and a newly approved U.S. bank license (January 2026) — the company serves Brazilian diaspora customers with FDIC-insured checking accounts (via Continental Bank and Community Federal Savings Bank partnerships), Mastercard cards, brokerage through Inter & Co Securities LLC (clearing via DriveWealth and Pershing), and mortgage origination following the 2023 YellowFi acquisition. The Q4 2025 loan portfolio reached R$48.3 billion (up 36% YoY) with 15.1% ROE and R$1.3 billion quarterly net income (up 45% YoY).

The business model combines interest income from the credit portfolio (personal loans, mortgage, credit cards) with transaction and card fees, brokerage commissions (Inter Securities), insurance intermediation fees, marketplace and telecom revenues, and digital account services. Pricing is not publicly itemized. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and product-led, relying on the Super App for acquisition and cross-sell while using bank partnerships (Continental Bank, CFSB) and clearing partners (DriveWealth, Pershing) to extend the product surface into markets where direct licenses have not yet been obtained. The customer base is predominantly long-tail retail and SMB, with explicit focus segments on Brazilian residents, Brazilians living abroad (especially in the U.S.), and Brazilian investors.
