SiGMA names ProntoPaga Best Payment Solution 2026 for Latin America-focused payments offering

ProntoPaga was named Best Payment Solution 2026 at the SiGMA North America Awards, with the ceremony held on September 1, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Mexico City. For PSPs and operators active in high-risk verticals, the point is straightforward: in Latin America, payments are not a single integration problem, but a country-by-country operating model.

1. “Latin America is not a homogeneous market when it comes to payments,” said Carlos Villacorta, Head of New Markets & Strategy at ProntoPaga. “Each country has its own payment methods, regulations, consumer habits, and levels of adoption.”
2. ProntoPaga’s approach is to bring different local payment methods into a single infrastructure, with the stated goal of reducing the operational complexity of working across multiple countries at once. That matters because the real work is not just enabling acceptance, but keeping the stack manageable.
3. Villacorta said the challenge goes beyond offering more payment options. Checkout experience, approval rates, fraud management, and the ability to adapt each integration to the conditions of a specific operation all sit in the same bucket.
4. “For an international company, managing that complexity can become a major barrier to growth,” Villacorta said. “Our proposal is to help simplify it and turn it into a competitive advantage for our clients.”
5. The SiGMA award considered factors including local payment method coverage, withdrawal speed, and fraud prevention, all of which map directly to the operational pain points that matter most in online gaming and sports betting. The text also points to Peru, where remote gaming and sports betting are evolving within a regulated framework, increasing pressure on payment providers as the sector matures.

In practice, ProntoPaga is being recognized for an infrastructure answer to a fragmented region: one that combines technology, market knowledge, and coordinated product, operations, compliance, commercial, and support teams to keep multi-country payments from turning into a mess.
