Our Story

Redefining private credit for emerging markets

Incubated at Neitec, a UK-based fintech lab, Debita was founded by a team that combines decades of banking experience with pioneering work in financial technology.

Our mission is to reduce market asymmetries so that capital can flow to high-quality companies and projects in emerging economies. We believe that traditional barriers in private credit markets can be overcome through technology and deep market expertise.

Debita exists to be an alternative channel that enables companies around the world to go farther, move faster, and in more directions.

How We See the World

Breaking down the walls between capital and opportunity

Why we believe in borderless, accessible finance

"

We believe the ingredients and technological solutions for value to be created, transferred, and intelligently transformed already exist.

We believe in a world where that technology becomes a commodity—not only for efficient, liquid, and optimized markets, but also for private, fragmented, and structured markets.

We want to build a world in which companies in any country can grow, create value and jobs, and efficiently access the capital that seeks them, especially in countries where capital access rails are scarce, fragmented, and opaque.
