Why Cinnecta
As AI explodes across industries and product offerings, often without true substantiation, Matera has diligently ensured the authenticity of Cinnecta's AI capabilities. Matera identified Cinnecta as the genuine AI solution provider that aligns with the company's vision after a meticulous year-long search. With guidance from MIT Ph.D. consultants, Matera is confident that this union is strategic, impactful and devoid of empty promises.
“Matera is at the forefront of fostering the expansion of Pix in Brazil, enhancing the financial ecosystem with innovation and synergy. We are now poised to enable our clients to add significant value to Pix transactions by seamlessly connecting our retail banks, which manage over 60 million accounts, with other clients offering merchant services,” said Carlos Netto, Matera's Co-Founder and CEO.“This integration aims to not only increase transaction volumes but also foster client retention and augment their business potential around Pix. With the strategic support of Cinnecta, Matera is fully equipped to implement this visionary approach, elevating our commitment to drive growth and excellence in the financial sector.”
At the heart of Cinnecta's success is its stellar team, recognized as the“Best Place to Work” in its state and fifth in Brazil. Matera aims to harness this distinction and set new benchmarks in organizational excellence.
Cinnecta is based in Belo Horizonte, often regarded as Brazil's AI Valley. It is the same place where Google anchored its roots in Brazil through an acquisition that led to a pivotal R&D center.

Cinnecta will be at the epicenter for AI solutions development, complementing Matera's suite of offerings. The combined company will be able to innovate on a new scale to provide unparalleled client experiences.
