Kesh raises R$550m in equity and credit funding
Grupo Leste leads financing for a payroll-linked lending business that returns interest as partner benefits.
The financing combines investment in Kesh with funding for its own receivables vehicle. That structure gives the company capital for the business as well as a funding base for loans.
For founder Marcelo Ramos, attracting established financial backers also addresses a credibility challenge. The company began operating in April 2025 and is targeting workers who need small amounts of emergency credit.
Kesh’s ambition is to reach one million users within three years. Its distribution through employers places payroll relationships at the center of that growth plan.
