Pomelo is the leader in financial technology for card issuance, processing, and management in Latin America. Founded in 2021, the company has built a new API-based infrastructure that enables businesses to launch or migrate credit, debit, and prepaid card programs with unprecedented speed and quality. Pomelo processes 55+ million daily transactions with 99.995% uptime across six markets: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. The platform connects to both Mastercard and Visa networks, offering services ranging from Issuer Processing for companies with their own licensing to BIN Sponsorship for those leveraging Pomelo's regulatory licenses.
