David Lozano, CEO at Afterbanks, remarked:

“The leap to Mexico [seems like] a natural step given the presence of Minsait and Indra in Mexico; we see in Mexico a market [that’s] highly attractive [because of] the hundreds of credit institutions [that] we can help [by] digitizing their [business] processes, end-to-end.”

Afterbanks claims more than 80 clients worldwide. It now has business offices based in Mexico, Spain and the UK. Afterbanks allows its clients to connect with more than a hundred banking institutions, including those that are headquartered in Spain. Afterbanks also works with financial institutions in Mexico, including Banco Santander, BBVA-Bancoer, Citibanamex, HSBC, among others.

Lozano noted:

“This is the first step towards a deeper penetration in the Mexican and Latin American markets, where besides the bank data and non-data account aggregation such as utilities data, we plan on enabling invisible payments in a completely safe way as an alternative to the current [payment] systems.”
