   We are starting with the banks with most coverage - so think Davivienda, Bancolombia, Banco de Bogotá, etc. We'll be looking to have quite a few go live soon. Good point on 2FA/MFA. We have built our API so it can fully account fo

   Our product / tech team is mostly based in Barcelona (early team at least) but we'll actively grow our tech team in Latam as well - mostly Mexico City. Happy to get connected to folks you might think would be a good fit. :)

   Partnering with banks you mean? Yeah, banks are slow to move but in Latam they're also pretty keen to partner up with fintechs if they see a win/win. We work on the premise of end-users granting us permission to access and share t

   Yeah, we know the guys at Plaid pretty well and we're big fans of the infrastructure they have created for fintechs and new financial services.

    Thanks! We don't yet support NuBank, but it's on the list for sure - both for Mexico (where it launched a month ago) and for Brazil (where we'll look to expand soon). We do plan on adding neobanks and other financial data sou

    It's similar in a way, yes. We have clients that are just like Mint for the Latam market.

    Thanks for the feedback. We're constantly improving the institutions page. I agree that adding the url to the bank / entity would be helpful. The homepage for the developer portal you mean? We put it together using read.me as a fi
