Fintech service Finsus enhances Small and Medium Enterprise services through the acquisition of Anticipa.
Finsus, a leading Mexican fintech platform, has completed the acquisition of Anticipa, a fintech specialist in merchant cash advances, to expand SME liquidity solutions in Mexico. This strategic move is part of Finsus' broader ambition to become Mexico’s first fully digital neobank.
The acquisition allows Finsus to launch new digital financing products offering up to 150,000 MXN (approximately USD 8,000) loans secured against merchants' future card sales, delivered through a fully digital platform.
Anticipa's technology integration strengthens Finsus' portfolio of business credit solutions, expanding financial inclusion by leveraging the fast-growing card payment market in Mexico, which reached $103 billion in 2023 and is growing at double-digit rates annually.
Juan Fernandez Casas, CEO of Anticipa, expressed excitement about joining Finsus to provide financial solutions to the challenges faced by Mexico's SMEs. Carlos Marmolejo, CEO of Finsus, stated that the retail sector in Mexico is undergoing a digital transformation, but financial products haven't kept pace. He emphasized the need for innovative, digital solutions to improve financial inclusion for SMEs, which are the backbone of the economy.
Since its founding, Anticipa has placed over $1.3 billion pesos in advances to establishments and businesses that sell primarily to end consumers with bank cards. With the acquisition of Anticipa, Finsus aims to change this by providing a way for businesses to prove their sales and access financing.
The acquisition also positions Finsus as a key fintech pioneer in the Latin American market, aiming to provide fast, transparent liquidity solutions. The combined resources of Finsus and Anticipa are expected to drive continued growth and expansion in the Mexican market.
