PINbank was classified in 2026 in the S4 segment of Brazil's financial system, a Central Bank of Brazil tier requiring formal governance, risk management, and operational controls.
"The fund strengthens our ability to sustain growth with a more solid and predictable base," Negri said. "It is an important step to reinforce our position in acquiring."
What could go wrong? Funding has grown more selective for financial and payments firms, raising the bar for predictable, well-governed players.
PINbank is responding by prioritising sectors with steadier operations and tighter regulatory fit, such as industry, structured retail, and distribution.

Backing from XP, a corporate investor, signals that even selective funding markets remain open to payments firms that can demonstrate the governance and predictability regulators now demand.
