Zoop’s technology platform is the behind-the-scenes infrastructure for a growing number of new fintech offerings across Latin America today.
According to Patrick Hruby, CEO of Movile, fintech is the main focus for the group’s expansion today: “There is an immense opportunity in the years ahead to improve financial services and enable broader access for businesses of all sizes and we want to ensure we are at the forefront of the transformation.
