Regulated peer-to-peer lending platform for Brazilian government-backed credit products
Up.p is a fintech specializing in government-backed credit products — primarily FGTS anniversary withdrawals and INSS consignado loans — operating as one of Brazil's first regulated peer-to-peer lending platforms (SEPs). The tech stack is finance-operational (Excel, Power BI, Looker, Zendesk, Freshchat) with modern web foundations (React, Vue, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL on AWS), but the project list reveals internal-ops friction: churn reduction, third-party due diligence, bank reconciliation, and chatbot scale-out dominate over product innovation, suggesting the platform is fighting operational and partner-channel complexity rather than building new credit products.
Up.p was founded in 2019 to disrupt Brazilian credit markets by offering regulated peer-to-peer lending secured by government income sources. The platform focuses on two main credit products: FGTS anniversary withdrawals (Saque Aniversário) and INSS consignado loans (payroll deductions). The company operates from São Paulo with 11–50 employees and has facilitated thousands of credit advances. Current hiring emphasizes finance (4 open roles), engineering, legal, and support, with a mostly mid-level and junior composition, indicating controlled growth in a capital-and-compliance-heavy business.
