The story

Wibond began as a consumer-facing BNPL service for LATAM's underbanked, integrated at checkout for retailers like Samsung and Musimundo. It has since pivoted into a B2B Fintech-as-a-Service platform, offering white-label embedded finance modules (wallet, payments, lending, prepaid cards) to companies wanting to financialize their own networks of merchants, riders, suppliers and contractors. It is registered as a PSP with Argentina's central bank (BCRA).
