The company plans to use the capital to expand its client base, enter new jurisdictions, and grow transaction volumes across its existing markets.
Founded by Daniel García Pérez, Raül Vila Martínez, and Andrés Marín López, VirtuaBroker operates in Spain, the UK, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. Its platform lets businesses, digital platforms, and financial operators manage international money movements across high-volume corridors between Europe and Latin America.
Why now? Demand for faster, more transparent cross-border payment infrastructure is rising as global commerce between Europe and Latin America grows. At the same time, regulation is tightening — the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework is a key priority on VirtuaBroker's roadmap.
The startup covers a broad range of use cases: remittances, payroll, e-commerce, intra-corporate transfers, and import/export payments — all under one scalable platform. That versatility is part of what attracted Bcombinator.
"VirtuaBroker is building key infrastructure for a market that demands faster, more efficient, and more secure international payments," said Andrés Echecopar of Bcombinator. "We were convinced by the team's vision, their sector expertise, and their ability to operate in an increasingly regulated and global fintech environment."
What could go wrong? Cross-border payments is a crowded space, with incumbents like Wise and newer entrants competing aggressively on speed and cost. VirtuaBroker will need to prove it can differentiate on technology and compliance while scaling across multiple regulatory regimes simultaneously.
Operating in both European and Latin American markets adds complexity — currency volatility, fragmented regulation, and varying levels of financial infrastructure all pose challenges.
The signal: VirtuaBroker's Dealroom profile hints at crypto-exchange origins, suggesting the company is pivoting its cross-border infrastructure expertise toward broader payment corridors — a trajectory that could prove timely as MiCA compliance becomes a competitive moat. Bcombinator, operating as an investment fund backing early-stage ventures, is placing a bet that the Europe–Latin America payments corridor remains underserved by incumbents, with room for a platform-native challenger to capture volume across fragmented use cases.
