Bamboo, a leading payment infrastructure provider in Latin America, and RTGS.global, a global cross-border settlement network, today announced a strategic partnership designed to simplify access to local payment and settlement infrastructure across Latin America.
Through the partnership financial institutions, multinational businesses and payment service providers connected to RTGS.global will be able to access Bamboo’s proprietary local payment infrastructure, reducing the need for multiple complex integrations with domestic clearing systems across Latin AmericaAmerica.
While Latin America is a hotspot for digital commerce, it remains notoriously difficult to navigate due to fragmented payment rails and varying settlement windows. By combining RTGS.global’s capabilities with Bamboo’s local acquirer and payout network, the partnership allows clients to send funds to Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru and Chile through a single technical connection, with funds landing in local currencies in near real-time.
Key benefits for RTGS.global participants include:
- Instant local reach: Connectivity to over 200 local payment methods, including Brazil’s Pix and Mexico’s SPEI.
- Reduced treasury friction: Consolidated settlement and reconciliation across multiple LATAM markets.
- Regulatory coverage: Local market expertise to help navigate applicable regulatory and compliance requirements across each jurisdiction.
“Our clients want to scale in LATAM, but they don’t want to build 10 different integrations or manage 10 different settlement cycles,” said Maria Jose Cabrera, Chief Executive Officer at Bamboo. “By embedding Bamboo directly into RTGS.global’s network, we’re effectively giving global banks a ‘plug and play’ solution for the region’s infrastructure.”
Felipe Hillard, Chief Operating Officer at RTGS.global, added: “We chose Bamboo because of their depth, they don’t just offer a gateway; they offer the actual rails. This partnership means our clients can now route cross-border payments into LATAM with the same speed and visibility they expect in Europe or North America.”
The collaboration is live immediately, with joint clients already onboarding to facilitate high-volume payouts and e-commerce merchant settlements across the region.
