Veriff and Rivool Finance: welcoming global investors to the Brazilian private rural credit market

About Rivool Finance

Rivool Finance bridges global investors to the Brazilian private rural credit market, combining technology and local expertise to offer high yields through world-class risk analysis.

Founded in Brazil in 2022, the company integrates traditional off-chain structures with cutting-edge on-chain technology to stand as a conduit between substantial demand for capital in Brazilian agribusiness and the global pursuit of maximizing returns through meticulous risk management.

This approach not only enhances the efficiency of global distribution but also makes it more accessible, ensuring that high-quality private loans are seamlessly transitioned into the digital realm.

What business problem did Veriff solve for Rivool Finance?

The investment space is heavily regulated, and also a target for money laundering, and so Rivool Finance needed a customer verification solution that satisfied regulatory requirements and gave their customers the peace of mind that their transactions would be completely safe and secure. 

Tiago Piassum, Founder and CEO, Rivool Finance, explained: “Compliance is a non-negotiable for us - without adhering to the guidelines we simply cannot operate, so that was a first priority.

“But we want our investors to feel secure too, and so we work hard to ensure each customer and transaction is genuine.

“Money laundering is a reality in the investment business, and so we needed an anti-fraud solution that worked but that was simple for the client too.”

What made the difference to Rivool Finance when choosing Veriff ?

The two major questions Rivool had when evaluating identity verification providers were: does this company understand the investment business and is the solution easy enough to use that it won’t be off-putting to customers. And Veriff passed with flying colors on both counts. 

“The team at Veriff has demonstrated they really get what we do,” Piassum said. “They understood how our business works, the challenges we face, and how best to solve those challenges. That was really important for us.
“But the tools also had to work, and so I tested them on my mother! I made her get her documentation and sign up to our platform, and she had no problem doing it at all. Seeing that ease of use - combined with the level of fraud protection that is happening behind the scenes - confirmed to us it was the solution we were looking for.”

What was the impact of implementing Veriff?

Time to value is a concept that comes up frequently with tech solutions - how soon can I start to see a return on investment? - and Rivool Finance were keen for this to be as short as possible.

“The team at Veriff understood our need for speed and the whole process, from proposal to build to becoming operational, took three weeks to a month,” Piassum said.

“The ongoing support has been amazing, as we optimize and improve together all the time. 

“We have the robustness we want, that satisfies banks and investors that they can work with us, and we also have the scale to accept investment from anywhere in the world.”

And partnering with Veriff has powered Rivool Finance to grow as a business.

“We have won awards and been identified as one of Latin America’s startups to watch,” Piassum continued. “And that is because we have the partnership with Veriff that means we do not need to divert staff and energy away from our core business. Veriff provides the protection we need, and that allows our people to focus on doing what they do best.”
