CortaContas

CortaContas, now operating as ComparaOnline, functions as a digital marketplace for financial products and insurance. The platform was established in 2009 in Chile by Sebastián Valin, who currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer. His aim was to simplify the complex insurance and financial services market for consumers. In a significant expansion into the Brazilian market, ComparaOnline acquired CortaContas from the Buscapé Group in March 2013.

The company provides a free comparison tool for a variety of products, including auto insurance, travel insurance, credit cards, and loans. This service allows consumers to analyze prices and features from multiple providers to make informed decisions. For insurance products like auto and travel, customers can complete the purchase directly through the ComparaOnline platform, which acts as an online insurance broker registered with the Superintendência de Seguros Privados (SUSEP) in Brazil. For other financial products, such as loans and credit cards, the platform redirects users to the official page of the financial institution offering the product.

The business model is centered on generating leads for its partners and earning commissions from sales made through its platform. ComparaOnline serves individual consumers seeking to compare and purchase financial products and insurance. It also provides a valuable online distribution channel for traditional insurance and financial companies looking to reach a wider digital audience. The company operates with a fully remote team with employees based in several countries, including Chile, Brazil, and Colombia.
