With a population of 120 million people, Mexico is the Latin America’s second largest economy (growth of 2.5% in 2015). The country who is “so far from god and so close to the US” according to Porfirio Diaz, knew how take advantage of its strategic position when we are talking about Fintech. Personally, I thought that being so close to the US could corrupt the startup culture in Mexico opting for the easy path and doing copy/paste of American solutions. I am happily surprised that it is not the case. Mexico has a tradition of innovation and creativity along its history and its entrepreneurs pulled out solutions from its own culture and reality to solve latent problems. So let’s roll out the carpet for Fintech.
