What AmFi does

AmFi is a Brazilian fintech that operates an electronic investment platform authorized by CVM (Brazil's Securities Commission) under Resolution 88 to publicly offer tokenized private credit assets. Founded in March 2022 by Paulo David (CEO), João Pirola (CRO), and Artur Malabarba (CTPO), the founders previously built and exited Grafeno (sold to Vortx for R$500M) and Biva (sold to PagSeguro in 2017). The platform connects credit originators with retail, institutional, and global investors through blockchain-based tokenization of receivables, including credit card receivables, duplicatas, CCBs, and commercial notes. Headquartered in São Paulo's Itaim Bibi district with legal entity AmFi Plataforma Eletrônica de Investimento Ltda. (CNPJ 51.548.809/0001-93), the company has 11-50 employees.

The platform's product suite is organized into Unitokens (closed-end portfolios with shorter terms for new investors, minimum R$1,000) and Pools (structured credit products similar to funds with returns above CDI). Underlying technology includes tokenization infrastructure for fractional ownership of receivables, smart contracts for automated execution of investment agreements and compliance rules, and a back-office dashboard for fund managers featuring CNAB validation, automated reconciliation, and real-time portfolio monitoring. The platform reports R$5.84 billion in cumulative tokenized assets, 115+ originators, 3,330+ active investors, 393+ available opportunities, and 25+ institutional investors including Jump, DCG, Itaú, Hashdex, and Parfin, with 21% average profitability on the platform.

AmFi's business model combines transaction-based platform fees on the structuring, distribution, and operation of credit products (FIDCs, securitizations, tokenized assets) with technology and managed back-office services for fund managers and securitizadoras. Originator setup starts at USD 18,000 with a 3-week emission timeline and up to 40% cost reduction versus traditional vehicles, per company claims. Distribution combines self-service on app.amfi.finance, direct sales for originator onboarding, and dedicated institutional and global investor relations. The platform serves five customer segments: qualified individual investors, institutional investors (funds, family offices, allocators), credit originators, fund managers/gestores, and foreign investors seeking USD-denominated exposure to Brazilian private credit. Recent strategic moves include a flagship Rayls partnership targeting USD 1 billion in tokenized RWA by June 2027, Helix partnership linking Asian capital to Brazilian credit, production deployment on Rayls Public Chain Mainnet (April 2026), and international expansion to Southeast Asia (November 2025).
