“Supply chain financing has traditionally been offered by banks in Brazil, but often in combination with other less-attractive types of financing. Our decision to partner with XP aligns with our client-centric approach. Antecipa’s digital platform is focused on optimizing cash cycles across production chains. With XP’s support, structure and credibility we believe we can maximize our growth prospects,” commented Camilo Telles, partner at Antecipa.

The acquisition still depends on authorization from the Central Bank of Brazil.
