Unlocking digital financial growth 

Why Latin America?

Latin America and the Caribbean’s fintech sector has rapidly evolved, becoming one of the world’s most dynamic financial technology markets. Between 2017 and 2023, the number of FinTech companies in the region soared by 340%, from 703 to over 3,069, reflecting robust entrepreneurial activity and growing demand for digital financial services. Brazil leads with 24% of these startups and the highest number of unicorns, including Nubank, which reached a staggering IPO valuation of $41.5 billion. The LAC region offers substantial growth potential, particularly at the intersection of policy, technology, and finance, enabling broader access to financial services and the creation of digital public goods.
