A confluence of capital inflows, a robust developer community, and a mature startup scene positions the country as the entry point for Latin American expansion.
August 29, 2025
Mexico has established itself as the primary entry point for fintech companies serious about expanding in Latin America, moving beyond a "future market" to a present-day hub where capital, infrastructure, and talent converge.
The country's financial landscape is powered by a massive remittance market, which grew 8.7% to reach $71.26 billion in 2024. This significant capital flow provides a robust foundation for financial innovation and service delivery.
Supporting this growth is a vibrant ecosystem comprising 773 active fintechs and a community of over 600 developers, according to the 2025 Fintech Radar Mexico report. This activity places Mexico's fintech industry in a "scale-up mode," rapidly closing the gap with Brazil, the region's traditional leader. This maturation is further evidenced by a high degree of collaboration, with 75% of fintechs working with or open to partnerships with traditional financial institutions, indicating a move toward a more integrated and scalable financial system.
