Payment and connectivity platform for Brazilian retail and fintech
Cardway operates a multi-service payments and connectivity platform across Brazil, built on .NET Core + PostgreSQL + AWS/GCP infrastructure with enterprise-grade security (Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Cortex). The hiring mix—30 sales roles against 2 engineering, with 28 juniors and only 1 senior—signals a sales-driven, high-volume distribution operation rather than a product-development cycle. Active pain points center on physical retail execution: supply chain consistency at point-of-sale, equipment reliability, and partner simplification.
Cardway is a Brazilian financial-services platform formed from the merger of GrupoCard and Movilway, combining decades of payments expertise with telecom and digital services integration. The company operates across six service lines: payment processing (card, PIX, cash, online gateways), telecom distribution (SIM cards and carrier recharges), digital services (games, streaming, deliveries, gift cards), urban mobility (transit passes and ticket recharges), banking services (bill payments, deposits, withdrawals at retail), and a Platform-as-a-Service layer (CardHub API) for fintechs and large retailers. With 1,001–5,000 employees based in São Paulo, Cardway's operational footprint is concentrated on retail distribution and partner enablement across Brazil.
Cardway runs on .NET Core and PostgreSQL with Docker containerization, hosted on AWS and GCP. Security relies on Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, and Cortex. Development uses Jira, Confluence, Git, and design tools include Figma and Sketch.
CardHub is Cardway's Platform-as-a-Service layer that integrates its full portfolio—payments, telecom, digital services, mobility, and banking—into a single API for fintechs and large retailers.
