Alantra has acted as exclusive financial advisor to Bamboo Payment Systems (“Bamboo”), a leading Latin American cross-border payments technology company, on its strategic partnership with StoneX, a Fortune 100 financial services firm, through its StoneX Payments division. In addition, the deal includes a capital investment by StoneX.
Through this partnership, the two companies will offer a leading solution for global merchants and financial institutions that need to collect and make payments in Latin America. The deal brings together StoneX’s broad foreign exchange capabilities and correspondent network with Bamboo’s extensive payment connections and platform.
Founded in 2019, Bamboo is a technology-first cross-border payments company that allows global merchants to accept and make payments in Latin America through a proprietary platform enabling pay-ins and payouts, covering more than 200 payment methods and connecting to a network of more than 600 banks and financial institutions.
Alantra supported Bamboo through a dual-track process, exploring several transaction alternatives, including a minority stake sale and capital raising. The final structure includes customized features to align the long-term strategic interests of both parties.
Hernán Sambucetti, Partner at Alantra, said: “This was a particularly complex transaction due to the early stage of the business, the ambition of the growth plan, and a cap table without founding partners of reference. We are proud to have helped Bamboo secure a strategic partner that brings both global reach and strong alignment. The tailored structure allows our client to realize its full potential while giving both partners a clear path forward”.
