About
There are more than 40 million professionals in Brazil working with no formal ties to their employer or under a vulnerable employment relationship – like nannies and workers of very small employers. These professionals do not have access to products and services available to the formal worker.
Through products that take into consideration the fluctuating, unpredictable gig worker’s income stream, Enconta is changing the way the segment deals with money, starting with credit, the most pressing pain point for these underserved workers.
With features that lower the inherent risk of the segment, a product that instill repayment discipline and a team of experient financial services professionals, Enconta is helping to reshape the future of the gig worker.
