Getnet operates payment infrastructure at a scale that makes it a high-value target. The fintech processes over 10.5 billion transactions annually for more than 1.2 million active merchants across Latin America and Iberia - markets where payment fraud vectors are diverse and regulatory landscapes shift fast. Part of PagoNxt, Grupo Santander's global fintech arm, Getnet sits at the intersection of banking-grade security expectations and fintech-speed deployment cycles.
The threat surface is real and wide: payment gateways, in-store and online acquiring, transaction processing, and fraud prevention systems all run as interconnected services spanning Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Spain, and Portugal. The attack model includes card-not-present fraud, account takeover, transaction replay, and the regulatory exposure that comes with handling financial data across multiple jurisdictions with different compliance regimes.
Technical domains center on payment processing, fraud detection and prevention, and financial services infrastructure. Security work here isn't perimeter defense - it's embedded in the transaction lifecycle. Teams operate across industries including retail, food and beverage, health and beauty, travel, warehousing, and logistics, each with distinct risk profiles and integration patterns. The culture signals lean toward combining fintech innovation with the operational rigor expected of a Santander-backed entity.
