Plata, a Mexican financial technology company, secured a new financing of up to $500 million arranged by Nomura Securities International.
The announcement comes as Plata continues to work towards launching operations as a bank, after having received its banking license authorization in December 2024.
“Nomura’s support is more than a financial operation; it is a sign of confidence in Mexico and in the real possibility of building modern, disciplined, technology-driven institutions from our region,” Neri Tollardo, co-founder and CEO of the company, said. “It brings us closer to the launch of our banking operations and confirms that a solid model can compete globally.”
