Devengo is a startup focused on a simple but ambitious mission: to make finance a fairer place. Founded by well-known fintech players Fernando Cabello-Astolfi and Alberto Molpeceres. Their first product is a scalable and simple API that allows any company, big or small, to send and receive instant payments. A business bank account you can programmatically use in real-time. They have invested the last three years in discovering a thousand ways of making Salary Advance that don't work and decided to pivot Devengo to laser-focus on instant payments. They have processed hundreds of thousands of operations and millions of euros, experiencing how vital and transformative instant payment technology can be for digital experiences.
