“Can Falabella's captive digital payments platform become the financial operating system for both consumers and SMB sellers within the Falabella ecosystem in Chile?”

The story

Fpay is the digital payments and wallet arm of the Falabella retail conglomerate in Chile, operating under two legal entities: Digital Payments SpA (platform/wallet) and Digital Payments Prepago S.A. (regulated prepaid card issuer). It began as a consumer digital wallet and payment app for the Falabella ecosystem, then expanded into a B2B seller-payments platform for falabella.com marketplace sellers, offering balance management, payment advance (factoring-lite), and pre-approved credit lines via Banco Falabella. It is not an independent fintech but a captive embedded-finance layer within the Falabella group.
