Local expertise. Built for LATAM.
From diverse payment methods and regulations to acquiring relationships and settlement requirements, LATAM presents challenges that general payment platforms aren’t built for. PPRO is.
The power of local payments in LATAM
Consumers across LATAM don’t pay the same way. Success depends on offering the right mix of local payment methods in every market.
How Adobe turbocharged growth
Adobe needed to scale payments across LATAM markets where standard cross-border card processing was failing. With PPRO as their local payments partner, they’ve been able to access markets that were previously hard to crack, using local payment methods as a strategic lever for regional growth.
Fluent in the payment methods that matter
Entering LATAM through a global integration isn’t enough. The region’s payment complexity – different acquiring models, tax regulations, card schemes, and consumer habits – requires infrastructure and expertise that’s been built for it. That’s where PPRO comes in.
Cut the complexity
LATAM isn’t one market – it has multiple distinct regulatory environments, acquiring setups, card scheme rules, and more. Through our local payments platform, and deep regional knowledge, we absorb this complexity, letting you focus on growing your business.
- Higher auth rates through local acquiring and smart routing strategies
- Administration of local tax regulations across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and more
- No local entity? No problem. Use PPRO as your local partner and Merchant of Record
Build customer loyalty
Shoppers in LATAM complete purchases when they see payment options they recognise and trust. Local favourites like Pix in Brazil and Oxxo in Mexico let businesses create checkout experiences that reduce abandonment and build loyalty.
- Chargeback management, fraud alerts and dispute resolution
- Seamless FX and funds flow
- Local PPRO customer support in English, Spanish and Portuguese
Scale seamlessly
As your LATAM business grows, your payment infrastructure should grow with it – without requiring new integrations, new contracts, or new compliance work for each market. PPRO’s single connection lets you add payment methods and expand into new countries without starting from scratch.
