The move underscores the fact that, despite the aggressive growth of fintech challengers, financial inclusion remains relatively low. The product will be integrated directly into the Uber and Uber Eats apps, offering cashback, instalment payments and credit lines of up to MXN 250,000, while also connecting users to Klar\u2019s broader financial ecosystem, including savings and investment products. For Klar, the partnership strengthens its position among Mexico\u2019s leading digital financial institutions and provides access to Uber\u2019s more than 25 million annual users in the country.<\/p><p><strong>Digital Trends Espa\u00f1ol, 27\/05\/26, Diego Bastarrica:\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/es.digitaltrends.com\/tendencias\/uber-elige-mexico-para-estrenar-su-primera-tarjeta-de-credito-global\/\">Uber chooses Mexico to launch its first global credit card<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>Mercado Libre seeks approval to operate investment funds in Mexico<\/strong><\/p><p>Mercado Libre has applied to Mexico\u2019s CNBV for authorization to operate as an investment fund manager through a proposed subsidiary, Mercado Pago Fondos. The move aims to expand the company\u2019s financial-services offering beyond payments, lending and insurance, and further strengthen Mercado Pago\u2019s position as one of Mexico\u2019s largest fintech platforms. It also complements Mercado Libre\u2019s interest in obtaining a banking license, reflecting a broader strategy of building a full-service financial ecosystem that keeps more customer activity within its platform. It is unclear at this point how an eventual license would impact Mercado Pago\u2019s current offering in partnership with brokerage GBM.<\/p><p><strong>FintechExpert, 26\/05\/26, Staff:\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fintechexpert.mx\/p\/mercado-libre-cnbv-fondos-inversion-mexico\">Mercado Libre seeks CNBV approval to operate investment funds in Mexico<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>Reap enters Mexico with Visa license and stablecoin infrastructure<\/strong><\/p><p>Hong Kong-based payments infrastructure provider Reap has entered Mexico after obtaining Visa principal membership, allowing it to connect directly to Visa\u2019s network without relying on sponsoring banks.

The company says nearly one million Colombians received their first formal financial product through Nu, in a market where roughly 65% of the population lacked access to formal credit back in 2021.

The ratings agency modelled three adoption scenarios, with total stablecoin holdings ranging from $250 billion to $730 billion across its sample. Even at the high end, that represents less than 8% of total banking system deposits, not enough, S&amp;P concludes, to meaningfully disrupt bank intermediation or blunt the transmission of monetary policy. The drivers of adoption are intuitive: wealth protection in high-inflation economies like Argentina and Turkey, cheaper remittances in remittance-dependent markets, and broader crypto enthusiasm. On that last point, 24 of the top 30 countries for crypto and stablecoin usage globally are emerging markets, per TRM Labs data cited in the report.<\/p><p>S&amp;P does flag tail risks. A higher-than-expected adoption surge could push banks toward costlier wholesale funding and amplify currency pressures in already-dollarized economies. Regulators in markets that have tried outright bans \u2014 Bangladesh, Egypt, Morocco \u2014 have found enforcement difficult, with activity migrating underground rather than disappearing. The bottom line: stablecoins are growing, the use cases in emerging markets are real, and the systemic risk, for now, looks manageable<\/p><p><strong><a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.disruptionbanking.com\/2026\/01\/20\/simulation-of-emerging-market-stablecoin-adoption-offers-banking-and-policy-insights-says-report\/\">S&amp;P on stablecoin adoption in EMs<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Fintech Consolidation Accelerates Across Europe<\/strong><\/p><p>The FT highlighted Europe\u2019s consolidation as higher interest rates continue pressuring business models that thrived during the zero-rate era.
