One methodology across multiple LATAM markets
While each country's regulatory framework is different, the project begins with the same fundamental question: what exactly will your fintech business do?
- 1
Map the business model
Define services, clients, currencies, transaction flows, expected volumes and the target countries.
- 2
Select the jurisdiction & route
Compare Argentina, Brazil and Mexico and identify the licensing structure best aligned with the model.
- 3
Build the corporate & compliance structure
Establish governance, ownership, AML/KYC, operational procedures and required documentation.
- 4
Licensing / authorization workflow
Coordinate the applicable filing process, regulatory communications and authority feedback.
- 5
Launch readiness
Finalize financial-partner onboarding, operating controls and the practical implementation required before commercial launch.

Brazil
Explore Brazil for payment-institution and electronic-money models requiring wallet, processing, merchant and broader payment capabilities.
Mexico
Explore Mexico for remittance and money-transmission operations or broader IFPE electronic-payment-fund infrastructure.
LATAM financial licensing questions
Which LATAM financial licence should we choose?
The correct route depends on the services you intend to provide. ReadyCorp first maps payment flows, account functionality, customer types, currencies, transaction volumes and product roadmap before comparing the available jurisdictions.
What financial licensing routes does ReadyCorp currently support in LATAM?
Current ReadyCorp routes include Argentina PSPCP, Brazil PI and EMI, and Mexico MT / MSB and IFPE / EMI structures.
Can international founders establish these structures?
International-founder structures are possible across these projects, subject to the local corporate, documentation, governance and operational requirements of the selected jurisdiction.
Can these licences support wallets and payment accounts?
Yes, wallet and payment-account functionality can form part of several of these regulatory routes. The exact structure depends on the country and the services provided.
What about money transmission and remittance?
Mexico's MT / MSB route is specifically relevant to money-transfer and remittance-oriented models, while other jurisdictions can support transfer functionality through their own payment frameworks.
Can we operate in several LATAM countries?
Yes, but a licence or authorization in one country does not automatically authorize regulated financial activity throughout Latin America. A regional strategy normally requires separate analysis of each target market.
Does ReadyCorp assist with AML and compliance?
Yes. The underlying country engagements include AML/KYC framework design, operational controls, documentation and regulatory-readiness support according to the relevant project.
Can ReadyCorp assist after authorization?
Yes. Ongoing operational, compliance and maintenance support can be coordinated according to the company, regulatory route and required scope.
