Vana is a fintech lender serving underbanked borrowers in Latin America through an Android app, using non-traditional data and machine learning to approve loans traditional banks decline. The tech stack reveals a payments-first architecture (Falcon, Cybersource, DynamoDB, AWS Lambda) built for rapid transaction processing, while the project list (fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, automated collections, turnover prediction) shows an organization in scaling mode—managing operational risk as loan volume grows. The hiring velocity (9 roles in the last 30 days, accelerating) and project focus on internal efficiency (OKR rollout, cultural transformation, hiring dashboards) suggest they're building infrastructure for the next growth phase.
