AmFi was created to modernize private credit infrastructure in Brazil.
By combining the solidity of traditional finance with the efficiency of blockchain technology, we’ve built a robust, auditable, and scalable infrastructure to structure, operate, and distribute credit: with greater transparency, control, and efficiency.
Founded by entrepreneurs with deep experience in financial infrastructure, technology, and capital markets, AmFi was created to solve the sector’s long-standing inefficiencies and expand access to private credit through tokenization.
Learn more about how we digitize processes and connect Originators, Managers, and Investors within a new infrastructure for the future of capital markets.
AmFi comes from Amphibious Finance.
A name that reflects who we are: connecting the solidity of traditional finance with the efficiency of blockchain technology.
Between these two worlds, there has always been a gap.
A AmFi was created to close it.
