From Boleto Simples to Kobana: a journey of evolution
Our story begins in 2008 with the launch of Cobre Gratis, one of Brazil's first products to democratize access to bank slip billing. At that time, issuing bank slips was a bureaucratic, expensive process restricted to large companies with access to complex banking systems.
In 2013, Kivanio joined as co-founder, strengthening the team's technical capacity. A year later, Boleto Simples was born - a redesigned product with an API-first concept, designed for developers and modern integrations. In 2015, we migrated all Cobre Gratis customers to the new platform.
In 2020, with the arrival of PIX in the Brazilian market, the partners united to work full-time at the company, seeing an opportunity for expansion. Two years later, we took the decisive step: we expanded the scope to all banking operations and Kobana was born.
In 2023, we received our first investment round, with investors Latitud, BRQ and Proximity Angels. In 2024, we shifted our focus to serve large enterprises with high processing volumes and began strategic partnerships with banks. Today, in 2025, we consolidate our vision: putting companies' finances on autopilot.

Kobana
Our values and principles
Who we are, what guides us, and how we choose to act.
Our
VALUES
They are who we are. When everything else is gone, they are what remain.
Love
We do it because it matters, not just because it pays.
Fellowship
We carry it together. No one delivers alone, and no one is left behind.
Respect
Every person, no exceptions, deserves the treatment we ourselves would want to receive.
Simplicity
Complicating is easy. Simplifying takes work — and that is what we pursue.
Safety
We look after the safety of Kobana's people, our customers, and everyone who is part of our ecosystem.
Transparency
We say what needs to be said, even when it is uncomfortable. We are transparent because that is how trust is built.
Our
PRINCIPLES
They are how we work.
High performance
Quality and depth are non-negotiable. Performance must be high to meet our expectations. The satisfaction of delivering more than expected and being driven by results.
Loving relationships
Professionalism is not coldness. We value warm, balanced human relationships grounded in empathy, understanding, respect, kindness and compassion.
Attention to detail
Detail is a form of care. Differentiation lives in the details — we believe the details matter and make all the difference.
Creativity and innovation
All our work is born from the creativity of doing things differently and focuses on innovation as a result — newness with usefulness.
Sustainable pace
We do not value hard-work that creates excess or accelerated paces that cannot be sustained in the long run.
Long-term vision
What we decide today must shape the future. What we do today thinks of the years ahead — we are not seduced by short-term gains and do not chase them at any cost.
We take care of your processes, while you focus on your purpose.
