The story

Founded in 2017, Flink launched as the first Latin American consumer stock-trading platform targeting the mass-market segment in Mexico, where high minimums and fees had historically excluded low-income investors. By removing minimum investment requirements, Flink grew to over 1 million users within a year of launching its brokerage product, positioning itself as the retail investing on-ramp for underserved Mexican consumers. The company's infrastructure relies on DriveWealth as its underlying brokerage engine, enabling fractional-share US equities access for Mexican retail customers.
