Moni is one of the leading FinTechs in the market in which you can: ask for loans, pay utility bills and make purchases immediately, without queues or procedures and 100% online. Founded in 2013, thinking about how to make this idea easy, fast, and comfortable for people. Today they have already granted more than 1 million loans.

Ualá is a FinTech that offers its users an innovative and integrated experience, including the unbanked population in the financial system, providing more convenient and lower-cost services than other alternatives. Users can make various financial transactions through a mobile app linked to an international Mastercard. This includes transferring money, paying bills, loading balance on prepaid mobile and transportation cards, and much more. Founded by Pierpaolo Barbieri, Ualá was launched in the Argentine market in October 2017 and in September 2020 in the Mexican market.
