Matera acquires Fáciltech, projecting a combined US$126.5M revenue in 2026
Matera acquires Fáciltech in its largest M&A deal to date, strengthening its core banking strategy and expanding its presence in Brazil’s financial technology market.
Matera, a Brazilian technology company known for its financial system solutions, has announced the acquisition of a controlling stake in Fáciltech, a member of Grupo Fácil specializing in technology for small financial institutions in the S4 and S5 segments. The value of the deal was not disclosed, but Matera confirmed that this is the largest M&A transaction in its history.
Largest M&A Deal in Matera’s History
This acquisition marks Matera’s fourth deal in four years and strengthens its strategy of expanding its presence in core banking. According to the company, the combined revenue of Matera and Fáciltech is expected to reach approximately US$ 125.5 millones in 2026. Both brands will continue operating independently, and the transaction remains subject to approval from Cade, Brazil’s antitrust authority.
Based in Belo Horizonte (MG), Fáciltech generates around US$ 5.6 millones in annual revenue and employs about 50 professionals. Its portfolio includes more than 150 clients, such as credit unions, development agencies, specialized fintechs, payment institutions, finance companies, and small digital banks.
A Strategic Move to Strengthen Core Banking Solutions
Matera highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition.
“More than expanding our footprint, we are strengthening our ability to deliver complete and modular solutions that serve large banks as well as niche institutions, contributing to the evolution of the financial system as a whole,” said Carlos André Guimarães, Chairman of Matera’s Board.
Ricardo Chisman, Matera’s President, emphasized that integrating the technical and commercial expertise of both companies will accelerate value delivery to clients and support the growing segmentation of the financial market. For André Rezek, CEO of Fáciltech, the deal represents a significant milestone in the company’s trajectory.
Matera’s M&A Momentum
Matera’s M&A journey began in 2022. In May of that year, the company acquired Onidata, a provider of infrastructure for personal and business credit operations. By August 2023, Matera advanced in artificial intelligence through the purchase of Cinnecta. In April 2024, it added Infotreasury, a company specializing in advanced treasury solutions.
To fuel this inorganic expansion, Matera received a US$ 18.6 million Private Equity investment from Kinea in 2020. Last year, it raised an additional US$ 94 million from U.S. private equity firm Warburg Pincus to accelerate growth in Brazil and other markets.
A Growing Presence in the Financial System
Founded over three decades ago in Campinas (SP), Matera now serves more than 280 clients, totals over 90 million accounts, and processes around 6 billion Pix transactions per year, according to information available on its website.
