Our Company

Guaraná Bank is a platform to invest in solar power energy projects in Latam.

Our platform eases the exchange between borrowers and lenders in a trustworthy and reliable manner. Lenders will have a wide array of investment options related to solar power energy projects, while borrowers can aim to fulfill their financial needs at competitive interest rates.

Our Vision

We envision a new economy where everyone is going to be able to produce, store and trade their own energy.

We're empowering the world to build wealth through modern solar power investing.


On-the-ground climate solutions are key to solving the climate crisis, but they’re critically underfunded.


Our purpose is to promote the development and success of these projects.


Partners & Supporters

We are thrilled to announce Guaraná Bank’s participation in Bank of America Breakthrough Lab®.

We are the first Brazilian startup chosen to participate in the program and are proud to be a part of the 2023-2024 cohort.

Sustainable Development Goals

We deem all investments through Guaraná Bank to have a positive impact on the Sustainable Development Goals, which were formed by the United Nations Development Programe (UNDP).

Our portfolio will have a direct impact on Goal 7, 9, 11 and 13: 

The additional impact will not always be the same since we are financing a wide range of companies with different business models, technology and customer segments. By looking at each company individually and benchmarking it against the Sustainable Development Goals, we hope to give you a better overview of the impact that our solar partners are achieving.

8: Decent work and economic growth

According to UNDP, small and medium-sized enterprises that engage in industrial processing and manufacturing are the most critical for the early stages of industrialization and are typically the largest job creators. They make up over 90% of businesses worldwide and account for between 50-60% of employment.

 

9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Industrialization’s job multiplication effect has a positive impact on society. UNDP found that every one job in manufacturing creates 2.2 jobs in other sectors.

 

11: Sustainable cities and communities

Cities have the potential to optimize their efficiency by reducing energy consumption and adopting green energy systems, according to the United Nations. By financing the switch to solar energy, we will contribute to efficiency gains and technological innovation while reducing resource and energy consumption.
