One Merchant Stack Across Markets
CloudWalk
The key point is that CloudWalk is not building two separate fintechs, it is reusing one merchant machine across two countries. InfinitePay proved the model in Brazil by turning cheap acceptance, fast settlement, and app based distribution into a large merchant base. JIM.com takes the same core stack into the U.S., where the pitch is again simple, accept cards on a phone, get paid quickly, and pay less than incumbent SMB tools like Square.1 2 3 4 5
- InfinitePay started as a Brazil product for very small merchants who were paying high card fees and waiting weeks for settlement. CloudWalk expanded that base from card acceptance into digital accounts, payment links, and working capital loans, which shows the shared stack is not just checkout software, it is the system that captures payment flow and then monetizes adjacent services.2 3
- JIM.com is the U.S. adaptation of that same playbook, aimed at nano merchants like mobile barbers, tutors, and pop up sellers. Its pricing is built to win on the first transaction, with 1.99% tap to pay versus Square's higher blended card rate, and no hardware requirement because the phone itself becomes the terminal.2 4 5 6
- The shared AI layer matters because it lowers the cost of running both brands from one core platform. CloudWalk describes AI being used across underwriting, fraud, settlement, and merchant conversations, which means each new market can launch with fewer local ops and support people than a traditional acquirer would need.1 7
From here, the most important question is how far CloudWalk can keep cloning the InfinitePay model beyond Brazil. If JIM.com keeps converting U.S. micro sellers with phone based acceptance and low fees, CloudWalk starts to look less like a local acquirer and more like a repeatable cross border merchant operating system.1 2 4 7
