Our
story
A big idea, a big obstacle
It all started with an ambitious vision: to build an immediate, accessible, and efficient payment system that would transform the day-to-day operations of companies in Latin America. But our first attempt faced a tough reality: in Colombia, we were considered a telecommunications operator, and we needed a million dollars to operate as a financial entity. At that moment, it felt out of reach.
Think differently
Instead of abandoning the idea, we decided to rethink it. What if, instead of building from scratch, we leveraged the private sector’s existing infrastructure? That question led to a new strategy: collaborating with those already part of the financial and technological system, who needed modern tools to operate efficiently.
Launch in Colombia
In 2020, we officially launched Cobre. A small team, with a clear mission: to build the business payments infrastructure Latin America needs. From the beginning, we focused on solving what frustrates companies the most: slow processes, manual dependencies, and unreliable data.
Model consolidation
Colombia became our testing ground. There, we gained a deep understanding of the challenges companies face when moving money with precision and speed. We learned that it’s not just about sending or receiving payments, but about creating an automated, connected, and programmable system—designed by businesses, for businesses.
Expansion to Mexico
In 2024, we took the next step: we arrived in Mexico, the second-largest market in the region. We did it with a solid infrastructure and key learnings from Colombia. Today, we support Mexican companies in their financial modernization process, providing them with technology that makes money flow as it should: fast, reliable, and frictionless.
Today: The mission is more alive than ever
Cobre builds technology to solve the biggest challenges in money movement for companies in LatAm:
- Speed: instant transfers, even outside banking hours.
- Automation: API integration to eliminate manual processes.
- Data consistency: full visibility of cash flow in real-time with complete traceability.
Our infrastructure empowers companies to build new products, optimize their treasury, and free up their teams from operational tasks.
