ProntoPaga plans expansion into Argentina and Mexico as it targets 125% growth by 2027

ProntoPaga CEO Sebastián Salazar says the fintech is moving from consolidation in Peru, Chile, and Ecuador to the next phase of regional expansion. For high-risk merchants and PSPs, the useful part is not the corporate storyline — it is the combination of market entry plans, a “compliance first” operating model, and sub-60-second payouts for betting users.

1. Salazar said ProntoPaga has already established itself in Peru, Chile, and Ecuador, and is now preparing to enter Argentina and Mexico. He also projected 125% growth by 2027, which gives a clear signal about how aggressively the company is planning to scale across Latin America.
2. The company says it runs on a compliance first model. In practice, that means ProntoPaga checks the regulatory status of both the merchants it serves and its financial partners, and reports its operations to the regulators of each country involved, linked to Gafilat, the regional body focused on the integrity of financial operations.
3. Speed is part of the pitch. Salazar said ProntoPaga processes payments in less than 60 seconds for users of betting platforms, compared with the 48 or 72 hours that competitors took when the fintech entered the market with an initial promise of 20 minutes. For operators, that is the difference between a checkout feature and an actual retention tool.
4. Looking further out, Salazar said ProntoPaga is developing a neobank that would combine different financial options in a single app, based on European models already in the market. Over a five-year horizon, he wants the company to lead not only regulated online gambling payments, but also cross-border commerce solutions between Latin America and Asia.
