AUSTIN, US — 16th July 1pm BST— Thredd, the leading next-generation global payments processor, today announced a strategic partnership with Payblr, a Puerto Rico-based, regional payments enabler and licensed BIN Sponsor.
The collaboration will provide global fintechs the regulatory foundation and issuing infrastructure required to launch and scale Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).By combining Thredd’s modular technology stack and global processing expertise with Payblr’s cross-border card issuing capabilities, the partnership eliminates the traditional complexity associated with launching in LAC markets, offering a seamless pathway for innovative financial products to go live faster.
“This partnership is about removing barriers for today’s most innovative payment leaders,” said Kevin Fox, Chief Revenue Officer for Thredd. “Expanding into new regions can be complex and difficult to navigate. By teaming up with Payblr, we’re offering a faster, simpler way for our clients to activate programs in Latin America, without compromising on compliance, scalability, or speed.”
“Thredd shares our belief that financial innovation should move fast and know no borders,” said Fabio Garcia Passalacqua, COO & Founder of Payblr. “Through our partnership, we’re enabling high-growth companies to expand across Latin America quickly, without many of the regulatory and operational hurdles that often slow global fintechs down. This partnership lays the foundation for a new era of seamless, cross-border payments in the region.”
Payblr’s ability to enable U.S. dollar card programs across much of Latin America makes it an ideal partner for companies offering gig economy payouts, disbursements, or cross-border services. According to Thredd, clients are already leveraging the infrastructure enabled by this partnership to activate programs in the region.
