# Your direct connection to the Central Bank without limits

Connect to STR and Pix with autonomy, performance, and security. Direct operation, no intermediaries.

> **About Stark Infra:** Stark Infra provides financial infrastructure APIs so companies can operate in the Brazilian financial market: become a direct or indirect Pix participant, issue cards under your own brand (BIN sponsorship and card processing), originate credit notes (CCB) without being a financial institution, and initiate payments via Open Finance (ITP).

## Your operation ready in 3 steps

We handle all the SPB complexity. You focus on strategy, we take care of the infrastructure.

#### Hire your own links

#### Choose the message subscription model

#### Connect to Stark Infra APIs

### Choose the ideal model for your operation

Total flexibility for you to decide the level of control.

## Direct connection to RSFN

You hire the links and access via a simple API, while Stark Infra handles message delivery.

## Message processor

Stark Infra manages all key exchanges, signing, and message delivery within its infrastructure, using non-exportable HSMs. You benefit from a robust operation without compromising the security.

## In-house signing

Stark Infra sends structured messages via webhook and your institution validates and signs them locally. More autonomy to apply your own security and governance mechanisms.

## Signing configured by Stark

Rely on a dedicated cloud infrastructure: Stark Infra performs the initial setup with configured HSMs, and after that, only your institution maintains access and control. This way, you operate with technical independence and full environment control.
