What Ademicon does

Ademicon is the largest independent consortium (consórcio) administrator in Brazil, founded in 1989 and headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná. The company organizes group-based savings and credit pools across five core product segments: real estate (consórcio de imóveis), vehicles (consórcio de veículos and consórcio de motos), services (consórcio de serviços covering travel, weddings, education, aesthetic procedures, and solar energy), and movable assets (outros bens móveis). Participants contribute monthly into shared groups and receive credit letters through monthly assemblies via lottery or competitive bidding, with the entire model regulated by Banco Central do Brasil under Circular 3432/09 and Law 11.795/2008 (Certificate of Authorization 92060028). The core revenue mechanism is an administrative fee (taxa de administração) charged on the credit value, with no interest applied to participants, distinguishing the consortium model from traditional Brazilian consumer credit.

The company distributes through a 300+ store retail network spanning 24 Brazilian states and the Federal District, supplemented by licensed and authorized store partners, a direct sales consultant force, a website and mobile app (iOS and Android), and two international stores in Orlando and Miami serving the Brazilian diaspora. Beyond retail consortium administration, Ademicon operates a B2B platform business under the CaaS (Consortium as a Service) brand, offering white-label consortium administration to 20 partner brands including CaaS Ademicon (vehicle and heavy equipment), CaaS Digital (fully customized white-label for sports, communication, and financial-sector partners such as Consórcio Coxa, Popcon, T-Bank Consórcio, and Consórcio Garagem), and Multicanais e Plataformas (shared groups for partner companies). A separate credit line, Ademicon Crédito, offers Cota Equity, Home Equity, and Car Equity products through dedicated subsidiaries (ADEMICON CREDITO SERVICOS E CONSULTORIA S/A, ADEMICON CREDITO SERVICOS E INTERMEDIACAO DE NEGOCIOS LTDA, and ADEMICON SECURITIZADORA S/A), with interest rates from 1.99% per month.

Cumulatively, Ademicon has commercialized R$ 145.8 billion in credit across 945,000 quotas and serves more than 675,000 clients, audited by PwC and ABAC-affiliated. The company is privately held with minority investment from TreeCorp Investimentos (2017) and 23S Capital (2023), operates with 501–1,000 employees, and earns revenue primarily through transaction fees on administered consortium groups and managed services revenue from the CaaS platform, with additional fee income from the 180 Seguros creditor insurance partnership (Seguro Prestamista).
