How Latin American Fintech Is Remapping Cross-Border Payments

Lucas and Luna examine the quiet revolution in Latin American cross-border payments, where startups and central banks are bypassing the SWIFT system to send money faster and cheaper. They discuss Real-Time Gross Settlement integration between Brazil and Argentina, Pix's expansion into Uruguay, and what Chile's new instant payment law means for remittance costs. The hosts reference recent data showing a 2.8% weekly gain in the VWO emerging-market ETF and a 1.6% bump in the EWZ Brazil-specific fund, arguing that payment infrastructure—not just commodity prices—is drawing capital back to the region. They also touch on how the strong dollar is making these innovations more urgent for Latin American businesses.
