It is with great pleasure that I announce the opening of Galileo Financial Technologies’ offices in Mexico City!
During the past year, I have met with hundreds of amazing individuals in Mexico who are committed to expanding payment opportunities by leveraging the new regulatory environment that makes it possible for every Mexican to have access to safe, secure electronic banking services. Now, with a physical presence in Mexico, Galileo is poised to be the business partner that brings together the opportunities brought by recent fintech regulation with world-class financial services technology.
In the weeks and months to come, you’ll hear more about what Galileo has accomplished already in Mexico, including the names of businesses that have done us the honor of becoming our clients, and more specific plans about rolling out services to facilitate the work of local and international partners to create new products and offer innovative financial solutions to everyone.
On a personal note, I’m happy to return to Mexico as my home. When I last lived in Mexico, I was in my early twenties. Now, I am married with two young sons, and I am delighted that my family will experience the warmth, hospitality and energy of the Mexican people.
Working together, I know we can offer electronic payment alternatives that are safer than cash to support Mexicans from all walks of life who want to know their money is secure and they can spend it where and when they like.
