Host Jason Pereira interviews Ximena Alemán, co-founder and CEO of Prometeo, about bridging the gap between global corporations and fragmented banking systems through a single, standardized API. Born from the frustration of building digital wallets in Uruguay, Prometeo now connects over 7,000+ financial institutions across 50+ countries, specializing in the Latin America and U.S.–LatAm corridors. Alemán details how their infrastructure streamlines account verification and money movement, while preparing for a future of AI-driven "agentic" payments.

This episode is a must-listen for fintech developers and global business leaders looking to simplify cross-border operations and scale rapidly across the complex Americas regulatory landscape.
