Kushki was founded in 2017 by Aron Schwarzkopf and Sebastian Castro, based on the observation that businesses seeking to accept and process payments across multiple Latin American countries face a highly fragmented payments landscape, with each country typically having its own distinct set of dominant local payment methods, banking regulations, and payment processing infrastructure, requiring businesses to establish separate payment processing relationships and technical integrations for each individual country they want to operate in, a significant barrier to businesses wanting to expand across the region's many different national markets. Kushki's platform provides a single, unified payment processing API that lets businesses accept payments across multiple Latin American countries, including support for the diverse mix of local payment methods common across the region, such as cash-based payment vouchers used by consumers without traditional bank accounts or credit cards, local debit and credit card networks, and increasingly various digital wallet and bank transfer payment methods, abstracting away much of the country-by-country payment infrastructure complexity that would otherwise require separate technical integration and local banking relationships for each market. The company has positioned itself as critical payments infrastructure for both Latin American businesses expanding across the region and international companies seeking to enter Latin American markets without needing to independently navigate the significant complexity of the region's fragmented payments landscape country by country. Kushki's customers span e-commerce companies, marketplaces, and other businesses processing payments across multiple Latin American markets, including both regional companies and larger multinational businesses expanding into the region. The company has expanded its presence across major Latin American economies including Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, and Peru, building local banking and regulatory relationships in each market to support its unified payment processing platform. Kushki has raised substantial venture funding from investors including Kaszek Ventures, Struck Capital, and DILA Capital, reaching unicorn status, positioning itself as a significant payments infrastructure company focused specifically on the Latin American market alongside competitors including dLocal and EBANX.
