Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
Inter & Co, Inc. is a Brazil-based financial technology and digital banking company that provides banking, payments, lending, insurance, investment, and commerce services through an integrated digital platform. The company operates primarily in the financial services and technology sectors and is publicly traded on Nasdaq under the ticker INTR. Its business model centers on a “super app” ecosystem that combines digital banking with consumer finance, brokerage, insurance distribution, and marketplace services for individuals and small businesses.
The company’s primary revenue drivers include net interest income from lending activities, interchange and payment-related fees, insurance commissions, investment services, and marketplace monetization. Banco Inter, the company’s principal banking subsidiary, was originally established in Brazil as a traditional finance institution focused on payroll loans before evolving into a fully digital bank. Over time, Inter expanded into broader financial and commerce services, positioning itself as one of Brazil’s major digital banking platforms with a focus on low-cost customer acquisition, cross-selling within its ecosystem, and high mobile engagement among retail users.
Business Operations
Inter & Co organizes its activities across several integrated operating areas, including Banking, Inter Shop, Inter Invest, and insurance-related operations. The banking segment includes deposits, consumer and payroll loans, credit cards, mortgages, foreign exchange, and payment services. Inter Shop operates as a digital commerce marketplace integrated into the company’s application, while Inter Invest provides brokerage, wealth management, and investment products. The company generates revenue through lending spreads, service fees, interchange income, commissions, and digital commerce activity.
The company’s operations are concentrated in Brazil but also include international capabilities designed to support cross-border financial services for Brazilian customers. Inter has developed proprietary digital banking infrastructure and mobile-first distribution capabilities that reduce reliance on physical branches. The company has also expanded partnerships with merchants, payment networks, and investment providers to broaden ecosystem engagement. Public filings and investor materials identify subsidiaries including Banco Inter S.A., Inter Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários Ltda., and other financial and technology-related entities supporting lending, investments, insurance, and digital commerce operations.

Management has consistently highlighted customer growth, engagement within the super app environment, and operational efficiency as central strategic objectives in public disclosures and earnings presentations.
The company has also pursued international expansion initiatives, particularly through services targeting Brazilian consumers seeking U.S.-based banking and investment access. Inter has invested in expanding Inter Shop, strengthening wealth management capabilities within Inter Invest, and broadening insurance and marketplace partnerships. Strategic acquisitions and investments disclosed in public filings have generally focused on technology enablement, digital commerce capabilities, and expanding the breadth of products available within the platform ecosystem.
