Company Overview

Malga is a Brazilian fintech company founded in 2020 that provides an intelligent payment infrastructure for digital businesses. The company operates a platform that functions as a marketplace for financial services, connecting e-commerce platforms, fintechs, and other service platforms to multiple payment providers through a single API integration. This allows clients to optimize transaction costs and approval rates by routing payments to the best provider on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Key features include payment orchestration, smart routing, automated retries with different providers, payment splitting, and fraud protection. Formerly known as Plug, the company rebranded to Malga in early 2023 to support its expansion in Latin America. The company is backed by investors including Y Combinator, Costanoa, QED Investors, and TOTVS's venture arm, iDEXO.
