Conexa

What Conexa does

Conexa is a private technology services and software firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in San Francisco, operating as a long-term integration and product development partner for enterprises primarily in Latin America and Europe. Its core offering is a proprietary Unified API platform that centralizes fragmented payment and e-commerce integrations across multiple countries, connecting payment processors (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bizum, Visa, Mastercard), e-commerce frameworks (VTEX, Shopify, Mercado Libre, Tiendanube), and fraud prevention infrastructure (CyberSource) through a single interface. Conexa also delivers complementary platform products including a Developer Portal, a Merchant Portal (for Fiserv), and custom B2B shipping software (for Delivery Hero), alongside bespoke product development services spanning discovery, integration, and full-stack engineering.

The company monetizes through a hybrid model combining project-based professional services engagements (with disclosed budget tiers of $10k-$20k, $20k-$30k, $30k-$40k, and $40k+) and subscription/recurring access to its Unified API and related platforms, typically structured as multi-year enterprise contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with direct client engagement from discovery through implementation and ongoing maintenance. Conexa serves 100+ partner companies across 14+ countries, with marquee clients including Santander/Getnet, Mastercard, Klarna, Fiserv, Rappi, Glovo, Delivery Hero, Payway, and Ualá. The customer base is primarily concentrated in fintech/payments and delivery/logistics, with growing exposure to adjacent verticals such as healthcare (IntraMed) and gaming (Etermax).

Operationally, Conexa maintains a lean team of 11-50 employees led by Founder & CEO James Daintree, with a CCO, Head of Tech, Head of Finance, and Head of People forming the executive bench. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding or external investment, operating as an independent entity. Its differentiated value proposition rests on deep regional expertise in LATAM and European payment ecosystems, pre-certified connector IP, and a partnership-style engagement model that retains long-term maintenance and compliance ownership — creating both switching costs for clients and recurring revenue potential for the firm.

Direct peers

• Kushki: LATAM-focused payment infrastructure and orchestration platform that connects merchants to local payment methods and processors across multiple countries. Highly comparable to Conexa's Unified API thesis on payments, though Kushki is more payments-pure and has raised meaningful external capital.
• Belvo: LATAM open banking and financial data API platform enabling access to bank accounts, payment initiation and financial data aggregation. Directly comparable to Conexa on the API-aggregation / multi-country integration model, focused on financial data rather than full payments/commerce orchestration.
• Globant: Large LATAM-based digital transformation and software engineering firm providing custom development and integration services to global enterprises. Directly comparable on the software-factory / long-term tech-partner model, though at vastly greater scale and with a much broader service portfolio.
• dLocal: Cross-border payment processor specializing in emerging markets including LATAM, enabling global merchants to accept local payment methods. Comparable to Conexa on the multi-country payment enablement thesis, but operating as the actual processor rather than an API intermediary.

Broad incumbents

• Plaid: Global leader in open banking and financial data API infrastructure, connecting applications to bank accounts and payment systems. Comparable to Conexa's Unified API model at much larger scale and broader geographic reach; the template for what a mature version of Conexa could look like in financial-data aggregation.
• Stripe: Global payment infrastructure platform offering unified APIs for payments, Connect, and payment method access across countries. Directly competes with Conexa's orchestration value proposition by providing native unified APIs that reduce the need for third-party intermediaries.
• Adyen: Global unified commerce platform providing payments, acquiring, and financial services through a single integration. Comparable to Conexa's omnichannel / unified-integration thesis at enterprise scale; a competitor that several Conexa clients (e.g., Fiserv-adjacent ecosystems) overlap with.
• TrueLayer: European open banking API platform enabling account-to-account payments, financial data and variable recurring payments. Comparable to Conexa's API aggregation model, primarily in Europe, with stronger regulatory positioning but narrower scope than Conexa's commerce-plus-payments platform.
• Matera: Brazil-based payment platform provider serving banks, fintechs and processors with core banking and payment infrastructure APIs. Comparable to Conexa on the LATAM B2B payment-API-infrastructure thesis, but with a deeper banking-tier focus and larger established client base in Brazil.

Emerging players

• Akua: LATAM payment orchestration and acquiring-aggregation platform enabling merchants and PSPs to route transactions across multiple acquirers and payment methods. Closely comparable to Conexa's payment-orchestration thesis and a likely direct competitor in the LATAM market.
