About Us

Valari is a technology company that operates in a highly fragmented market that is ripe for disruption. While in the US, there are more than 5000 banks, in Mexico there are less than 80 fully regulated banks. We have a partnership with a national chartered bank in Mexico, which allows us our customers to issue debit, credit, investment and insurance products compliantly through our platform.

Our customers range from B2B software companies, marketplaces, neobanks and consumer applications. By partnering with Valari they can quickly launch embedded financial products such as bank accounts, cards, payments and lending to their users. Our customers own the user experience and have little regulatory overhead, while generating revenue for the transactions they initiate in our platform.
