Treviso Corretora de Câmbio is a regulated foreign exchange broker simplifying cross-border payments for businesses and individuals in Brazil. With 50+ employees headquartered in São Paulo and over 20 years in the market, Treviso settles international transactions across local currency corridors for customers. Its mission: bring speed and transparency to how money crosses Brazil's borders.
The Challenge
For more than 20 years, Treviso has built its name as one of Brazil's most established foreign exchange brokers, headquartered in São Paulo. Brazil's FX market rewards that kind of standing, but it doesn't protect it: customers compare rates, fees, and settlement times constantly, and a slow or opaque provider loses the comparison fast. Treviso's leadership had already scaled the traditional business a few times over. The strategy they wanted demanded hundreds of times more, which meant rebuilding traditional operations into digital ones. In digital channels, one requirement was fixed: settlement couldn't slow the transaction down, or the price could.
The Solution
Treviso partnered with Nium to settle payments through current account credit using local corridors, built directly into its digital channels. Nium Global FX lets Treviso lock and hold a competitive rate for up to 24 hours and settle conversions on a scheduled future date, so currency swings stop being a risk customers have to absorb. Funds move across more than 60 currencies under a single transparent markup, not the layered fees common in Brazil's FX market. Nium Chronometer routes every payment for time, cost, and market availability using AI and machine learning, so transactions that once took days now settle in minutes.
That combination of cost, speed, and coverage opened a market Treviso had been watching for years. Latin America carries untapped opportunity, and two decades of money-movement expertise put Treviso in position to reach it.
The Results
Powered by Nium, Treviso delivered:
- Lower cost to serve: A significant reduction in fees and FX costs, replacing the layered markups common in Brazil's FX market with a single transparent rate.
- Real-time settlement: Payments that took days now settle in minutes, with Nium routing each transaction for speed, cost, and market timing.
- Broader coverage: Access to more than 60 currencies and locked-in rates for up to 24 hours, giving Treviso's customers price certainty traditional settlement couldn't offer.
- A growth ceiling raised by orders of magnitude: Digitizing traditional processes moved Treviso's growth target from a handful of multiples to hundreds.
Looking Ahead
Treviso is positioning itself as a gateway between Brazil and the rest of Latin America's cross-border FX demand. Nium has continued opening new corridors across Latin America and Africa, backing that ambition with infrastructure built for where the region is headed, not just where it is today. As Treviso's opportunity comes into sharper focus, Nium gives it the foundation to keep meeting it: digitally, quickly, and at whatever scale comes next.
