Inclusion and empowerment

Half of Pay4Fun’s team is made up of women

Pay4Fun, a Brazilian payment institution in the sports betting sector, has 50% of its team made up of women - from beginners to experts -, including two transsexuals. Founded in 2017 in the entertainment and gaming market, the fintech aims to include more and more people who identify with the female gender in its workforce.

One of the main areas of the company, for example, is led by the risk and compliance director Camila Caresi, who, with more than 18 years of career in a large financial institution, decided to face the challenge of a startup. “It is very rewarding to work at a company that focuses on female empowerment and to be able to count on such an inspired team of women. Joining Pay4Fun was something very different for my journey and a right choice in my career moment,” says Camila.

“We are proud of our team and recognize the challenges that all women face in the job market, especially in segments such as finance and technology. Our goal is to increasingly encourage and develop women to grow and develop in their professional journey,” says Leonardo Baptista, CEO and co-founder of Pay4Fun.

The range of women working in the company is distributed across all areas, in positions being assumed in segments such as risks and internal controls, operations, human resources, corporate governance and technology - the largest area of the company.

Founded in 2017, Pay4Fun is the first Payment Institution authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil that operates in the online entertainment and sports betting sector. Operating with more than 360 integrated websites in the entertainment segment, the company reached R$ 500 million (US$ 97m) in financial transactions in July 2021 and believes in the expansion of the online betting market around the world.

Also in 2021, the company was considered the Best Payment Method for Latin America in the awards promoted by SAGSE 2022 and chosen as the Best Payment Method at the Brazilian iGaming Awards. More about the company, at firm’s website or Linkedin.
