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.

Tequila maker Becle quadruples profit on foreign exchange gains

MEXICO CITY, July 23 (Reuters) - Becle ( opens new tab, the world's largest tequila producer, on Wednesday posted a second-quarter profit more than four times higher than a year earlier, surpassing analysts' forecasts as it benefited from foreign-exchange gains. "This growth was driven mainly by an increase in operating income and a gain in net financial income," Becle said in a statement, pointing to a weaker Mexican currency boosting its sales in the United States and Canada in peso terms. Net profit hit 2.0 billion pesos ($106.6 million), above the 1.8 billion pesos estimated by analysts polled by LSEG, while revenues ticked up 2.8% to 11.6 billion pesos, a touch below analysts' 11.7-billion-peso forecast. "During the first half of 2025, we continue to operate in a volatile and competitive global environment," management said in a statement, adding it was seeing early signs of improvement in certain markets and working toward "a more balanced alignment between shipments and depletions." The Jose Cuervo maker makes the bulk of its income from tequilas but also produces a range of spirits such as Creyente mezcal, Stranahan's whiskey, Kraken rum and Boodles gin. It pointed to 557 million pesos in foreign-exchange gains that helped reverse a more than 1.3-billion-peso net financial loss recorded a year earlier. The Mexican peso weakened some 2.6% to the U.S. dollar in the 12 months through to the end of June. Last year, Becle made nearly 60% of its net sales in the U.S. and Canada, and a further 25% in its home market of Mexico. While the U.S. has threatened fresh tariffs against Mexico, its top trade partner, from August 1, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday signaled that goods covered by the USMCA free trade pact - such as tequila - would remain exempt, opens new tab.

Americans swoop on yet another UK fintech champion: Corpay to buy FTSE 250 Alpha Group in £1.8bn deal

Another British fintech champion is to be bought by American predators – in a deal worth £1.8billion. The board of Alpha Group – led by former Virgin Money boss Jayne-Anne Gadhia – has accepted a bid from US payments giant Corpay. Shares in the FTSE 250 payments company soared more than 25 per cent after bosses recommended that investors back a sweetened 4250p-per-share offer. The deal comes amid a mounting crisis as a takeover frenzy accelerates. Research from broker Peel Hunt shows the UK is on course for the biggest year of takeovers since 2021, after £74billion of offers in the first half of 2025. Scientific testing firm Spectris has agreed to be bought by American private equity firm KKR for £4.7billion in the biggest deal of the year after a bidding war with Advent International. US semiconductor group Qualcomm is to buy British chipmaker Alphawave for £1.8billion and Deliveroo was swooped on by DoorDash with a £2.9billion offer. Another takeover battle saw Primary Health Properties beat KKR to buy GP surgery owner Assura for £1.8billion. And companies are switching listings to New York, with fintech darling Wise the latest planning to defect. Meanwhile, a lack of fresh listings through initial public offerings means they are not being replaced. Alpha turned down Corpay's initial £1.2billion offer in May but, after talks, the latest bid is a 55 per cent premium to Alpha's undisturbed share price of 2745p on May 1, before news of the takeover interest became public. Dan Coatsworth, an investment analyst at AJ Bell, said: 'The market completely misjudged how much Corpay would offer, judging by the share price jump on the formal bid. 'While the shares enjoyed a little bump on the initial approach, the market didn't price in a successful bid. The fact Alpha rejected a proposal made it clear to Corpay that it would have to dig a lot deeper or walk away. 'It got the message loud and clear and Corpay looks to have gone in with its best offer. 'The 55 per cent bid premium is much more generous than the 40 per cent average seen across UK-listed takeovers so far in 2025.' Corpay, an S&P 500 company with a market capitalisation of around £17billion, has its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Following the sale, Alpha will continue to be based in London. But there could be 'possible role overlaps' in some administrative and head office functions, the companies have warned. If job cuts are made solely within Alpha's business, it could affect up to 13 per cent of staff. The takeover, which must be approved by 75 per cent of shareholders, is expected to complete in the final quarter of the year. Alpha chairman Gadhia said: 'I am delighted Corpay has made an offer which the board considers to be in the best interests of shareholders, clients and staff.' Corpay boss Ronald Clarke said: 'We couldn't be happier to acquire Alpha.'

Colombia's Petro threatens to alter Glencore contract over Israel coal exports

BOGOTA, July 23 (Reuters) - Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Tuesday threatened to unilaterally alter Glencore's (GLEN.L), opens new tab concession contract if the mining giant continues to export coal to Israel, though the company said it has already ceased the shipments in compliance with a presidential decree. "I am willing to unilaterally change the concession contract," Petro said during an energy event for the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC). The president also warned that if Glencore refuses to comply with the decree to suspend the shipments, he would ask the local community near the mine to stage blockades. In response, the company said it was already in compliance with the order. "Cerrejon has acted in accordance with the decree issued by President Petro. In fact, our last shipment of coal was some two weeks before the decree came into effect," the company told Reuters. Petro suspended exports of the fuel source to Israel over its assault on the Gaza Strip. Israel's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Glencore's Cerrejon operation, located in Colombia's northeastern La Guajira province, is one of the world's largest open-pit coal export mines. It includes a 150-kilometer (93-mile) railway line and a port on the Caribbean Sea. Cerrejon's production reached 19 million metric tons in 2024. In March, the company announced it would cut its annual thermal coal production by between 5 million and 10 million tons due to low mineral prices.
