In attendance at Money20/20 USA, held in Las Vegas from October 22-25, FinTech Magazine speaks to Anderson Olivares General Manager for LatAm at Dock, the Brazilian IT Services and Consulting firm.
We talk to Olivares about the expansion of Dock in recent times across South America, and why the democratisation of finance to bring about inclusion is important to both him and the company.
Dock: Championing financial inclusion
Introducing Dock and its services, Olivares says: “Dock has more than 20 years of experience in LatAm and we have now expanded our business in other South American countries.
“Today, we have a presence in nine countries and are continuously expanding, offering more and more solutions, products and services in all things payments.
“We are divided into four units; card solutions, credit processing solutions, and more recently we have launched banking-as-a-service (BaaS) solutions and risk solutions too.”
For Olivares, meeting clients’ needs to get to market quickly is an adaptation that Dock has needed to make to ensure its success.
He adds: “Time to market is very important for our clients, and it’s why we started to expand our business in LatAm because our clients in Brazil wanted to extend the technology they employ there to their business presence in other countries.”
And, while expansion is crucial, for Dock and Olivares, it’s important that its values are consistently upheld.
Olivares concludes: “The most important thing for us is the democratisation of finance and ensuring financial inclusion is at our core. Any company from any sector can work with us, and leverage our solution without having to develop anything internally.
“With our growth-as-a-service (GaaS) model, clients can use any part of the solution they need with full autonomy and full transparency to use our APIs for new products. It is very, very flexible.”
