Expanded Access to Financial Services in Mexico through Belvo's Integrated Technological Solutions
Clip, the leading digital commerce platform in Mexico, has taken a significant step forward in financial inclusion by integrating Belvo's full suite of technology. This collaboration aims to redefine financial inclusion, particularly for those who have never had formal access to credit.
The partnership significantly enhances financial inclusion and automated payment solutions in Mexico. By leveraging Belvo’s open banking technology, Clip can access and analyze alternative financial data, improving credit approvals and expanding financial services to underserved populations. This integration allows Clip to scale its credit offerings and automate payment processes via its PrestaClip product.
Federica Gregorini, country manager at Belvo Mexico, stated that the alliance is not just about integrating technology, but applying it to solve real financial inclusion challenges. The combination is scalable, capable of serving micro-merchants, small businesses, chains, and multi-branch enterprises on a single platform.
One of the key benefits of this partnership is the ability to offer personalized credit to individuals without traditional credit histories. Through Belvo's platform, Clip can now consider factors such as length of employment, formal income, and frequency of job changes when assessing creditworthiness. This approach not only broadens financial inclusion by bringing more consumers into formal financial systems but also streamlines payments for merchants and borrowers, advancing the digitalization of commerce in Mexico.
Belvo processes approximately two million account-to-account payment transactions each month, with an annualized total payment volume (TPV) of over $500 million. This full visibility across the credit life-cycle has helped Clip minimize fraud, automate processes, and offer more personalized loan terms through PrestaClip.
The integrated technology includes Belvo's employment data, employment updates, and account-to-account debit payments. This allows Clip to automate recurring collections, improve cash flow, and deliver a frictionless experience to users, particularly in verticals such as gyms, insurance, education, and subscription services.
Moreover, Belvo collaborates with JP Morgan Payments for recurring payments in Mexico, further expanding its reach and capabilities. Since adopting this technology, Clip has reported tangible gains, with the shared tech stack centralizing decisions, reducing friction, and accelerating the digitization of critical processes.
The model is reinforced by automatic updates on users' employment status, enabling Clip to dynamically adjust risk and keep credit limits up to date. Belvo's employment-data product allows Clip to understand an applicant's job stability and income capacity, even when traditional banking history is absent.
In summary, the impact of Belvo's collaboration with Clip lies in overcoming traditional credit barriers and enhancing automated payments, which together drive more inclusive financial participation in Mexico's digital economy. This partnership sets a new standard for financial-product design, where technology, data, and scalability converge to serve those historically left out of the system.
