Loan origination software for banks

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build Digi, a SaaS platform that lets banks in Latin America digitize loan origination and account opening. It replaces paper-heavy, manual processes with software that makes lending faster and more scalable. Our product is tailored for banks rather than fintechs, giving them a loan origination system comparable to fintech startups.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Latin America. After YC, the company will remain based where our clients are, focused on Latin America.

Explain your decision regarding location.

The opportunity is here. Banks in Latin America need better digital lending tools and are underserved by global solutions. Being local helps us build product and relationships aligned to the market.
