Finnovista and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) launch the survey for the 5th Latin America and the Caribbean Fintech Report.<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2023, the Fintech ecosystem in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) reached a historic milestone: 3,069 active companies<\/b>, according to the 4th Fintech Report by Finnovista and the IDB. After growing 340% since 2017<\/b>, the sector has entered a new phase of maturity.<\/p>\n

Today, the conversation has evolved. It is no longer just about the number of startups, but about their ability to scale, operate efficiently, and generate impact in an increasingly competitive and regulated market.<\/p>\n

To analyze this shift, Finnovista and the IDB are developing the 5th Latin America and the Caribbean Fintech Report<\/b>, the region\u2019s benchmark study on the state of the ecosystem. To build this analysis, we have launched three surveys targeting the ecosystem’s key players.<\/p>\n

If you are part of the LAC Fintech ecosystem, your perspective is essential to ensure this analysis reflects the sector’s reality.<\/p>\n

    A Resilient Investment Landscape<\/h3>\n

    Despite the global venture capital market facing what many called a “VC winter,”<\/b> the Latin American Fintech sector has shown remarkable resilience. According to data from Cu\u00e1ntico (Latin America Venture Capital Report 2025<\/i>), total VC investment in the region reached $3.6 billion in 2024<\/b>.<\/p>\n

    In this context, the sector’s relevance is clear:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Absolute Leadership:<\/b> Fintech accounted for 61% of total VC investment<\/b> in 2024, up from 43% in the previous IDB report.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Regional Resilience:<\/b> Markets such as Argentina, Colombia, and Peru saw increases in capital raised during 2024.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Early-Stage Focus:<\/b> Over 80% of investment deals<\/b> were concentrated in Pre-Seed and Seed rounds, reflecting an ecosystem that continues to renew its entrepreneurial base.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      From Trend to Implementation<\/h3>\n

      The previous IDB and Finnovista report also highlighted how various technologies have moved from hype to operational implementation. Key highlights include:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Artificial Intelligence:<\/b> With 5% of VC investment directed toward AI and Machine Learning, these technologies are already driving solutions like alternative credit scoring and fraud prevention.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Open Finance:<\/b> Brazil and Mexico continue to lead implementation, redefining financial interoperability in the region.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Insurtech:<\/b> This segment saw 19% growth in 2025<\/b>, according to the Latam Insurtech Journey<\/i> report by Digital Insurance LATAM, sponsored by MAPFRE.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Challenges for the Next Stage<\/h3>\n

        Consolidation brings new hurdles. In the latest IDB study, 41% of Fintechs identified scalability<\/b> as their primary challenge. Regulation also remains a critical factor: in 2024, only 38% of companies felt the regulatory framework was adequate.<\/p>\n

        Regarding social impact, the report also analyzes diversity. In the previous edition, 27% of Fintechs<\/b> had a workforce that was more than 50% women, though a gap in founding leadership persists.<\/p>\n

        Why Participate?<\/h3>\n

        Your contribution will help:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Update the definitive roadmap of the region’s Fintech ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Identify real barriers to sector growth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Generate strategic recommendations for market development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \ud83d\udcc5 The survey is open until March 31 and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.<\/b><\/p>\n
