Simetrik selected for Mastercard Start Path’s inaugural Agentic Commerce and Services cohort

The company will join 21 other businesses from around the world building the infrastructure for a new generation of experiences powered by AI agents.

San Francisco. Simetrik has been selected to participate in Mastercard Start Path’s inaugural Agentic Commerce and Services cohort. The program brings together companies from around the world developing AI-driven solutions across payments and commerce, ranging from agent platforms and enablement tools to emerging agentic payment flows.

This marks the second time Simetrik has been selected for a Mastercard Start Path program, just months after joining its Corporate Solutions track. The new cohort is the first Start Path program focused specifically on Agentic Commerce and Services.

The selection comes as Simetrik advances its vision for agentic financial control. In August, the company launched Simetrik Agent, an autonomous agent that automates financial reconciliation and control tasks while operating on a deterministic, auditable core designed to keep people in control of critical decisions.

As AI agents move beyond recommendations and begin executing transactions, finance teams will need a reliable way to track what happened across increasingly autonomous workflows. Simetrik is building the financial control layer for this new environment, enabling companies to reconcile transactions, detect exceptions, and preserve a complete audit trail.

This work already operates at global scale: more than 180 companies across over 50 countries use Simetrik to process 2.5 billion records every day. Through Mastercard Start Path, the company will tap into Mastercard’s global network, receive tailored support, and have the opportunity to explore new ways to strengthen financial control across the emerging agentic commerce ecosystem.

For Simetrik, joining the program is an opportunity to help shape how companies maintain visibility, traceability, and control as AI agents take on a larger role in transactions. 

Mastercard Start Path is Mastercard’s global startup engagement program. Since its launch in 2014, it has supported more than 500 companies across over 60 countries. Participating companies have gone on to raise an estimated $25 billion in post-program capital, while Start Path has facilitated more than 15,000 connections between startups and Mastercard customers and partners worldwide.

About Simetrik

Simetrik is an AI-powered financial control infrastructure. Its mission is to give finance teams the control to operate with speed, accuracy, and confidence in an increasingly complex environment. With an autonomous agent backed by a deterministic, auditable core, Simetrik automates complex reconciliations and end-to-end financial controls, and provides a single source of truth over which people retain full control. Today, more than 180 leading companies across 50+ countries trust Simetrik to process 2.5 billion daily records, cut losses, and accelerate growth.

Simetrik launches Simetrik Agent: fully agentic financial control, with the deterministic certainty audit demands

An autonomous agent that runs end to end without human intervention, decides when to lean on its deterministic core for an exact, verifiable result, and when to bring a person in. All inside an open box that is auditable end to end. It is joined by MCP connectivity and a CLI for technical teams.

San Francisco. Simetrik, the AI-powered financial operations control platform, introduces Simetrik Agent: an autonomous agent that executes financial control work end to end, in natural language and with no need for human intervention. It interprets the request, reviews the working environment, integrates the sources, identifies dependencies, and on its own configures, implements, reconciles, and analyzes exceptions.

Agentic, with exact results when they matter.

What sets Simetrik Agent apart from a generic agent is that it does not improvise where the business needs certainty. When a result must be exact, verifiable, and auditable, the agent turns to Simetrik’s deterministic core: more than 110 specific financial-control functions. The agent knows when to reason probabilistically and when to lean on that deterministic core, which always returns the same verifiable result.

That combination is where Simetrik’s deep knowledge of the financial industry makes the difference: an agent that alternates probabilistic reasoning and its deterministic core according to what each task demands, with the governance guardrails needed to audit every step and prevent errors. This is how Simetrik becomes a natural part of the CFO tech stack.

Autonomous and open box.

It is not a black box, it is an open box. Unlike opaque AI, where no one knows for certain why it did what it did, with Simetrik Agent every decision is expressed in financial language any person understands, can supervise, and can change whenever they want. And the agent itself recognizes when a person’s involvement is key and asks for it. Far from slowing it down, that collaboration makes it more powerful.

One control, three ways to operate it

To extend that control beyond the platform, Simetrik adds two complementary paths. With Model Context Protocol (MCP), organizations connect the agents they already use, their own or built on models like Claude, Copilot, or Gemini, with Simetrik’s financial knowledge and control capabilities, without rebuilding reconciliation logic from scratch. And a command-line interface (CLI) lets technical teams create and run reconciliations, configure sources, automate exports, and integrate controls with CI/CD pipelines.

Whether through the agent, MCP, or the CLI, everything runs on the same Simetrik capabilities and under a single standard of permissions, traceability, and financial control.

“The future of financial control is agentic and autonomous. The difference lies in building an agent that truly understands the financial world: one that knows when a result must be exact and auditable, when it is worth bringing a person in, and that keeps everything visible so the team stays in control. That is Simetrik Agent”, says Santiago Gomez, Co-Founder and COO of Simetrik.

Simetrik Agent, MCP, and CLI are now available to Simetrik customers. Learn more at simetrik.com.

Simetrik Now Available on AWS Marketplace, Bringing AI-Native Financial Operations Control to Global Customers

The Financial Operations Control Platform expands access for enterprise customers through consolidated procurement, billing, and AWS EDP commitments.

Bogotá, Colombia, 2026. Simetrik, The Financial Operations Control Platform, today announced the availability of its platform as a listing in the  AWS Marketplace of Amazon Web Services (AWS). With this launch, AWS customers can now procure Simetrik through a streamlined buying experience, accelerating time-to-value for finance and operations teams that operate at enterprise scale.

What Simetrik on AWS Marketplace means for customers

Simetrik’s addition to the AWS Marketplace allows customers to quickly access its platform through a consolidated billing and procurement process, allowing customers to leverage AWS budgeting services for Simetrik software purchases. For organizations with Private Pricing Agreement (PPA) commitments, every dollar spent on Simetrik through AWS Marketplace counts toward their committed AWS spend, turning a control-platform investment into a strategic procurement decision.

Modern finance and operations teams face a structural problem: data never matches across processors, banks, networks, and ledgers. Variability, not volume alone, is what makes financial control hard at scale. Simetrik combines deterministic reconciliation controls with AI-assisted configuration and analysis across financial operations domains, helping teams identify discrepancies, maintain traceability, and scale governed workflows. 

Today, more than 160 leading companies across 50+ countries trust Simetrik to process 2.5 billion daily records and reconcile $500B+ in annual TPV, including Mercado Libre, Rappi, Nubank, PayU, DLocal, Itaú, and Bancolombia.

What Simetrik’s Selection into Mastercard Start Path Means for You

We’re excited to share that Simetrik has been selected for Mastercard Start Path, the global startup engagement program that has supported over 500 companies from more than 60 countries to accelerate growth and innovation in the financial ecosystem.

This is a meaningful milestone for us, but more importantly, it’s a meaningful milestone for the issuers, acquirers, fintechs, and financial institutions we serve every day. Here’s what it means in practice.

Closing the gap between payments and accounting

Digital payments have scaled fast. The back office hasn’t kept up. Finance teams at banks, payment processors, and fintechs are still reconciling manually, chasing exceptions, and building controls they shouldn’t have to build from scratch.

Simetrik exists to close that gap. Our AI-native platform gives every participant in the payments chain complete visibility and traceability across every transaction continuously, not just at month-end.

The Mastercard Start Path recognized this approach. Through the Corporate Solutions track, we’ll have the opportunity to collaborate directly with Mastercard to bring automated reconciliation and financial controls to high-volume, high-complexity payment ecosystems around the world.

“Digital payments scaled fast. The back office didn’t. Finance teams at the world’s largest banks and payment processors are still reconciling manually, chasing exceptions, and building controls they should never have had to build themselves. Simetrik exists to close that gap. Our vision is to be the AI-native platform for global financial operations, giving every participant in the payments chain, from fintechs and banks to acquirers and issuers, full confidence in every transaction from start to finish.”

— Santiago Gómez, Co-Founder & COO, Simetrik
Four exciting benefits for our customers and partners
1. Go live faster with pre-built templates

If you’re processing issuing or acquiring flows, you won’t need to start from scratch. Simetrik’s pre-built templates for workflows mean your finance and operations teams can build and modify reconciliation processes without engineering support. This can deploy transaction-level controls in weeks, not months. No custom code. No long integration timelines.

2. Third-party validation for regulated environments

For issuers, acquirers, and other regulated entities, vendor selection isn’t just about capability. It’s about trust. Simetrik aligns with the governance, security, and operational standards that global card networks expect. At a moment when regulators are raising the bar on transaction-level evidence, that independent validation matters for your audit trail and financial control framework.

3. Pre-validated integrations for your payment infrastructure

Integration headaches are one of the biggest barriers to adopting new financial operations tools. Simetrik’s connectors meet the connectivity and data-format standards that global financial institutions require. That means the platform works with your existing payment infrastructure without custom development.

4. A direct channel into Mastercard’s ecosystem

Mastercard Start Path opens a direct connection for Simetrik to reach Mastercard’s corporate clients and partners. For our customers, that creates opportunities for joint pilots and co-solutions across issuing, acquiring, and cross-border payment operations, shortening the path from evaluation to production.

What’s next

This opportunity with Mastercard can advance what we’ve been building since day one: a single platform that gives finance and operations teams full confidence in every transaction, across every partner, in every market they operate in.

If you’re already using Simetrik, you’ll benefit from deeper integrations and faster template rollouts. If you’re evaluating us, this is a good time to schedule a personalized demo and see how we can help you take control of your financial operations.

Simetrik raises $85M to redefine financial reconciliation with AI

Back in 2024, we landed our Series B led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. It was an exciting time even then, but we didn’t know what was coming. Since then, we’ve raised a Series B1, witnessed a rapid shift in the financial ecosystem, and watched the AI boom transform the world of software forever.

Simetrik’s Series B reaches $85 million

How much funding did Simetrik raise? Simetrik’s Series B reached $85 million in June 2025 after a $30 million follow-on investment led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives. The financing is intended to accelerate Simetrik’s expansion into the United States and other high-volume, highly regulated markets.

Why AI is reshaping financial reconciliation

Reconciliation today is an outdated function that plagues even the best teams with wasteful manual work and margin-eroding technology costs. Until now, it has been impossible to process and reconcile enterprise transaction volumes at any scale, leaving significant visibility gaps and exposing financial operations to substantial risk.

Simetrik is an AI reconciliation platform that automates transaction matching, mitigates risk, and supports compliance workflows at enterprise scale. We simplify complex financial operations for our customers, with reconciliation at the heart of everything we do.

Simetrik connects internal, external, and ERP data to financial reporting and close workflows

By applying agentic AI and no-code automation to reconciliation, exception management, and compliance workflows, we help companies achieve new levels of financial oversight and efficiency at every level. The platform now processes more than one billion records per day in 40+ countries, automatically reconciling multi-way transaction data and then aligning it with journal entries and operational balances. 

“Fragmented systems, skyrocketing volumes, and shifting regulations are pushing traditional reconciliation to a breaking point.”

Santiago Gómez, Simetrik’s co-founder and COO.

“We give FinOps teams the automated workflows and controls they need to stop making costly errors, shorten the monthly close by days, and export AI-ready data for forecasting, risk modeling, and product innovation. All without writing a single line of code.” 

For companies subject to multiple nuanced regulations and internal audits, this approach to automation has powerful downstream effects. Reconciled data is reported accurately down to the transaction level, simplifying audits and alerting the finance team to exceptions in real-time. Simetrik customers automate 100% of their reconciliation workflows, strengthen margins, and open up new paths to innovation in an increasingly complex international payments environment.

What the investment enables

“Goldman Sachs’ continued support validates the global demand for a purpose-built AI reconciliation platform.”

“With this investment, we’ll scale our US presence and deliver even faster time-to-value, helping finance teams cut waste, act immediately on discrepancies, and turn reconciled data into a strategic advantage.”

Alejandro Casas, co-founder and CEO of Simetrik.

Simetrik’s customers include Stax Payments, Santander Group, Sephora, Possible Finance, Mercado Libre, Oxxo, Rappi, PayU, PagBank, Falabella, Itaú, and Nubank, among others, and strategic partners such as Deloitte. This trusted base has fueled the company’s 100% year-over-year revenue growth and rapid international footprint.
