A global player for payment operations

Rivero is a fintech company that aims to simplify payment operations for the highly regulated payments industry. Its two SaaS product offerings, Kajo and Amiko, cater to all players in the payment ecosystem, with a particular focus on issuing banks. Kajo, a solution for payment scheme compliance, enables all licensees of payment networks to minimise the effort and risks involved in this process. Amiko, on the other hand, is a SaaS solution that digitalises the entire fraud recovery and dispute process, helping issuing banks manage this process efficiently while offering a self-service experience to their customers.

According to the official press release, since its go-to-market, Rivero has secured partnerships with over 20 well-established financial institutions, ranging from issuing banks to acquiring banks and payment processors. Among that, in 2022 Rivero was selected for the Visa Fintech Partner Connect program, providing the company with access to a selection of trusted technology partners.

Commenting on the announcement, Rivero stated that, given the current challenging market conditions, this funding represents more than financial support, but rather a partnership with investors who understand and resonate with the company vision. In response, 6 Degrees Capital official who invested in Rivero, expressed their confidence in the company's potential to become a global player in payment operations.
