Our vision is to enhance the purchasing power of consumers across Latin America by providing a modern alternative to traditional credit cards.

Nelo has successfully secured over $40 million in venture capital from esteemed investors such as Homebrew, Two Sigma Ventures, and Susa Ventures. Additionally, we have obtained a $100 million asset credit facility from Victory Park Capital.

Our dynamic team includes seasoned professionals from top technology firms like Uber, Amazon, Rappi, and DiDi. We take pride in our agility, intellectual rigor, and operational efficiency. Nelo operates offices in both Mexico City and New York City.
