Tilt acquires Brazilian salary-advance lender Blipay, adding 6M users in Latin America's largest credit market

Tilt, a US-based cash flow underwriting company, has acquired Blipay, a Brazilian salary-advance lender with over 6 million registered users. The deal marks Tilt's fourth international market entry, following Mexico, the Philippines and India. Blipay uses open banking data and Brazil's Pix instant payment system to extend credit to underserved consumers. This aligns with Tilt's approach of using real-time cash flow and alternative data rather than traditional credit scores, providing liquidity access to three in four consumers. The acquisition positions Tilt in Latin America's largest consumer credit market, where roughly 100 million people are underserved by traditional banks. Tilt achieved profitability in 2022 and has successfully replicated its international playbook across multiple markets.
