This showcases how platforms are increasingly turning to Gr4vy for fully branded, customizable payment infrastructure, highlighting the growing demand for flexible, customizable payment infrastructure that platforms can run under their own brand.
Mattilda supports more than 50,000 students across a growing network of private schools in Latin America. As it expanded into payments, the company needed a provider that could support its transition into a payfac, offering the right payment integrations, branding control, and speed to launch ahead of seasonal peaks. As a Gr4vy platform merchant, Mattilda gains full orchestration capabilities and uses a white-labeled solution that offers a fully branded experience to every customer they support.
'This partnership highlights what Gr4vy was built for,' said John Lunn, Founder and CEO of Gr4vy. 'We're giving platforms like Mattilda the tools to take control of their payment systems and scale without being limited by legacy infrastructure or vendor lock-in.'
With Gr4vy for Platforms, Mattilda can expand into new markets like Colombia while tailoring payment setups for each school or partner it supports. The platform gives them the flexibility to manage multiple payment strategies under one system, without added complexity. This flexibility, combined with roadmap alignment and ongoing support, helped Mattilda launch Mattilda Pay quickly and stay on track for peak season.
'Gr4vy's payment infrastructure has been a game changer for us, helping us accelerate time to market across multiple geographies. With the right tools in place, our customers can focus on what truly matters: educating their students, not chasing collections,' said José Agote, CEO of Mattilda.
Mattilda Pay is the first step in a broader expansion strategy across Latin America, with Colombia as the launch market. The partnership with Mattilda reflects Gr4vy's broader vision: to give platforms the tools to fully control their payment infrastructure, on their own terms. By enabling a branded, multi-merchant orchestration setup, Gr4vy is showing what's possible when payments are built to support scale, flexibility, and real business needs, not just integrations.

Exclusive: Mexico's antitrust watchdog accuses banks of joint price fixing

MEXICO CITY, July 25 (Reuters) - Mexico's antitrust watchdog COFECE has found that 21 banks and financial institutions operating in the country are likely responsible for fixing fees related to deferred credit card payments, according to a document produced by the government agency that was seen by Reuters. The 649-page document outlining the findings and listing the institutions and individuals allegedly involved includes the Mexican subsidiaries of HSBC (HSBA.L), opens new tab, Santander ( opens new tab and Scotiabank ( opens new tab. The document indicates that, based on preliminary findings, there is sufficient evidence to presume the parties may have engaged in anti-competitive conduct. COFECE began the investigation in 2022, saying at the time it was looking into suspected monopolistic practices, including price-fixing and manipulation in the market for deferred credit card payments, by which the cost of a purchase can be spread over several months. The antitrust authority alleges the institutions met regularly to set surcharges for merchants, which were then formalized in regulations and collectively enforced, while also excluding some merchants from the market. The banks listed in the document are being notified of the findings, the document says, marking the start of a trial-like phase in which the parties can present evidence and arguments in their defense before the watchdog's plenary issues a final resolution. It is unclear what the penalty would be if the allegations are upheld. By law, it can impose fines as high as 10% of a company's annual Mexican earnings. COFECE's remit is limited to issuing fines. It does not have the power to prosecute, but can file class-action lawsuits and submit reports to prosecutors who can initiate legal proceedings. Some of the other institutions cited are: Red Amigo DAL; Banco Mercantil del Norte; Banco Nacional del Ejercito, Fuerza Aerea y Armada; Servicios Financieros Soriana; Banco Regional; Banco INVEX, and Banco Azteca. Others include Banca Afirme; Banca Mifel; Tarjetas del Futuro; Liverpool PC; Banco del Bajio ( opens new tab; Banco Inbursa ( opens new tab; Klar Technologies; Crediclub; Oplay Digital Services; Caja Morelia Valladolid and Banco Ahorro Famsa. COFECE and the banks did not immediately respond to requests for comment. COFECE has previously targeted other major industries in high-profile actions. In August 2021, the agency fined five pharmaceutical distributors and 21 individuals roughly 903 million pesos ($48.65 million) for a decade of fixing prices and restricting the supply of essential medicines between 2006 and 2016. In October 2022, it imposed over 2.4 billion pesos in fines on more than 50 liquefied petroleum gas distributors across several states, finding evidence of coordinated price manipulation and market division.

Colombia central bank expected to cut rate after inflation dip: Reuters poll

BOGOTA, July 25 (Reuters) - Colombia's central bank will cut its benchmark interest rate next week, a Reuters poll suggested on Friday, although analysts expect the bank to act cautiously for the rest of the year due to the worsening state of the government's finances. Sixteen of 20 analysts surveyed said the bank would reduce the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 9%, following a sharper-than-expected slowdown in inflation in June. One analyst forecast a 50-basis-point cut, while the remaining three expected the bank to hold the rate steady, as it did in June. Analysts said the decision is unlikely to be unanimous. "Our expectation (of a 25-basis-point cut) is largely explained by the downward surprise in June's inflation and its effect on expectations for the coming months," said investment firm Corfi. Consumer prices rose 0.10% in June, bringing 12-month inflation to 4.82%, below market expectations, though still well above the central bank's long-term target of 3%. Some analysts who expect a pause cited inflation that is likely to remain above the central bank's 3% target through 2025, as well as growing fiscal concerns. Latin America's fourth-largest economy is facing lower tax revenue, high debt and difficulty reducing spending. "Concern over the fiscal issue continues to increase due to both lower government revenue collection and expectations of a higher fiscal deficit," Colombian bank Davivienda said in a note. "It is also important to mention that the economy is not performing poorly in terms of growth." The central bank's meeting will take place a day after the U.S. Federal Reserve meets on July 29-30, when it is expected to hold U.S. rates steady. Meanwhile, analysts raised their year-end expectation for Colombia's benchmark rate to 8.50% from 8.25%. The forecast for the end of 2026 remains unchanged at 7%.

Bayern Munich reignite interest in Liverpool forward Luis Diaz as talks continue despite rejected bid

Bayern Munich have reignited their interest in Liverpool forward Luis Diaz and talks are continuing over a potential deal this summer, Mail Sport understands. The Reds rejected a bid in the region of £60m from the Bundesliga giants earlier in the window and insisted they had no intention of selling the winer. But Bayern have been tracking Diaz all summer and despite seeing their first formal approach knocked back, they remain in dialogue with Anfield figures. It is not believed that a second bid has been officially lodged. Diaz, who is under contract until 2027, cost Liverpool £50m when they swooped to sign him from Porto in January 2022, beating Manchester United and Tottenham to his signature. He has gone on to become an integral member of their squad. During his side's charge to the Premier League title last season, the Colombia international scored 13 goals and registered seven assists in 36 top-flight matches. Liverpool place such importance on him that they may demand a fee beyond £100m. More to follow.
