It is undeniable that the fintech sector is continuously evolving, adapting to changes and incorporating new technologies to improve the user experience. This growth is not risk-free – it is especially prone to regulatory risks, since the growth is faster than the regulatory updates.

According to BCG's report "Reimagining the Future of Finance", it is estimated that the fintech sector, currently representing only 2% of global financial services revenue, will reach USD1.5 trillion in annual revenues by 2030, which will constitute almost 25% of all bank valuations worldwide.

Although the fintech sector in Mexico is at an early stage of development, it is the most dynamic in Latin America, having 773 fintech entities registered at the beginning of 2024, which are of great relevance in the market and responsible for generating many jobs. It is estimated that by 2027 there will be around 86 million registered users of fintech services.

They built innovative technology, validated their business models, acquired customers, and generated revenue without holding a financial services license.
