EBANX, APLAZO partner to expand flexible payments options in Mexico
The collaboration aims to strengthen the offering of flexible payments in Mexico. It focuses on meeting the needs of international online merchants.
Through this collaboration, international online merchants can now offer tailored financing options to their Mexican customers via EBANX's payment platform.
For the first time, APLAZO's BNPL service will be available for cross-border e-commerce transactions, enabling global companies to reach a broader audience in Mexico.
EBANX vice-president of product Eduardo de Abreu said: 'Mexico is one of the most dynamic markets in Latin America, where e-commerce is expected to grow 25% annually until 2027, with digital payment adoption aligned with this growth.
"Partnering with APLAZO will allow us to expand our local reach and offer our global clients an alternative that directly responds to the preferences of Mexican consumers.'
According to EBANX's analysis, combining alternative payment methods like APLAZO with local card options allows merchants to access over three times more Mexican consumers compared to relying solely on international acquirers.
The integration of EBANX and APLAZO's solutions is expected to provide merchants with the ability to offer a more flexible payment experience.
This could lead to benefits such as increased average ticket size, higher purchase frequency, reduced cart abandonment, and access to new market segments, according to APLAZO's press statement.
APLAZO co-founder and CRO Alex Wieland said: 'Our mission at APLAZO is to provide access to credit in a fair, simple, and transparent manner.
'This partnership with EBANX reinforces our commitment to facilitating access to financing for millions of consumers in Mexico and accelerating the digitalisation of commerce in the country.'
Since its launch in 2020, APLAZO has secured over $100m in equity financing and $75m in debt financing. EBANX, which has been operating in Mexico since 2015, supports local payments for global companies, connecting over 500 major digital businesses with customers across 29 countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
"EBANX, APLAZO partner to expand flexible payments options in Mexico" was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.

Fraudsters scammed Mexican billionaire out of $400M by claiming they were descendants of Astor family: ‘I feel like an absolute idiot'
A Mexican billionaire was tricked into lending $400 million to a group of con artists — one of whom passed himself off as a descendant of the 19th century fur trader John Jacob Astor. Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the owner of the telecommunications conglomerate Grupo Salinas, told the Wall Street Journal that he thought he had found the perfect lending partner when he needed to finance a large Bitcoin investment in 2021. Instead, he was duped into a 'loan-to-own' scheme that wiped out out nearly a quarter of his net worth. Advertisement 7 A Ukrainian-born fraudster, Val Sklarov, duped a Mexican billionaire out of $400 million. 'I feel like an absolute idiot. How could I fall for this?' Salinas Pliego, 69, told the Journal. Salinas Pliego, whose net worth approached $16 billion at the peak of his wealth, had pledged shares in his company, Grupo Elektra, as collateral in the fraudulent loan scheme. Grupo Electro shares plunged 71% in a single day in July 2024 after investor confidence was rattled by news that his company fell victim to fraud. Advertisement The collapse wiped $5.5 billion from his fortune, part of a broader $4 billion drop in Elektra's market value triggered by the systematic sale of his shares under the 'loan-to-own' arrangement allegedly orchestrated by Ukrainian-born American fraudster Vladimir Sklarov. Salinas Pliego's journey into this financial nightmare began when he sought to expand his cryptocurrency holdings by borrowing $400 million against his stake in Grupo Elektra, the retail and banking empire his father established in 1950. Through a Swiss financial adviser, he connected with Astor Capital Fund, which claimed prestigious lineage to the legendary New York family that once produced America's richest man. Advertisement 7 Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who was once worth as much as $16 billion, lost a quarter of his wealth as a result of the scam. AP Salinas Pliego's stock collateral worth over $400 million had vanished, sold off by Sklarov, who had masqueraded as 'Gregory Mitchell' while his accomplice posed as an Astor family descendant, according to the Journal. Property records indicate that as part of the alleged scheme, Sklarov's lawyer and longtime associate appears to have covertly funneled Salinas's money into a series of high-end real estate purchases across the United States and Europe. The acquisitions included a $6.45 million penthouse in New York overlooking Central Park, a $2.67 million mansion in Virginia purchased under the lawyer's name and a $6 million château in France registered to Sklarov's wife, according to the news site Currency. Advertisement 7 An accomplice to the fraud passed himself off as a descendant of robber baron John Jacob Astor. © Bettmann/CORBIS The portfolio was rounded out by two villas located in the affluent Greek suburbs of Marousi and Ekali. The operation appeared legitimate from every angle. During video conferences, a man identifying himself as Thomas Astor Mellon joined calls from a yacht, speaking with an authentic American accent and presenting himself as both the company's chief executive and a descendant of the famous Astor lineage. The firm's materials referenced the illustrious history of German-born fur trader John Jacob Astor, who died in 1848 as America's wealthiest individual and whose family dominated Gilded Age society. Astor Capital's professional presentation included attractive loan terms at just 1.15% interest and documentation bearing the official seal of a regal lion. The company even maintained a polished website featuring a promotional video showing professionals entering branded offices, complete with imagery of a lion statue and narration about building on principles established by John Jacob Astor's financial empire. 7 Sklarov, who served time in prison in the US, orchestrated a 'loan-to-own' scheme. The reality behind this facade proved far more sinister. Investigators later revealed that 'Thomas Astor Mellon' was actually Alexey Skachkov, a resident of the former Soviet republic of Georgia with a criminal history including prescription forgery and jewelry theft. Advertisement The primary architect of the scheme, however, was Sklarov, a Ukrainian-born fraudster who had operated under numerous aliases including 'Mark Simon Bentley' in addition to his Mitchell persona. Sklarov's criminal background stretched back decades, including prison time for masterminding an $18 million Medicare fraud in the 1990s involving companies billing for uncovered surgical dressings. After serving his sentence, he had built a substantial Midwest real estate portfolio that eventually collapsed amid litigation and loan defaults, leading to his divorce and a desperate advertisement in Crain's Detroit Business seeking new opportunities. The fraudster had reinvented himself multiple times, legally changing his name from Vladimir to Val in 2006 to avoid what he claimed was discrimination, and later adopting the Bentley moniker because he 'liked the automobile.' Advertisement Court records show he established operations across multiple jurisdictions, creating same-name companies in various countries and requiring dispute arbitration in obscure financial centers like Jamaica and Nevis. Warning signals emerged gradually. Salinas Pliego's financial lieutenant, Eduardo González Salceda Sánchez, first noticed unusual trading activity in Elektra shares during fall 2021, suspicious because the stock typically experienced minimal trading volume. 7 The alleged scheme involved setting up a fake office and a web site for 'Astor Asset Management.' Despite these concerns, the billionaire's team maintained faith in their lending partner, particularly after visiting what appeared to be legitimate Astor offices in New York City, complete with branded materials and a professional receptionist. Advertisement The scheme's collapse accelerated when Salceda Sánchez requested independent verification that the pledged shares remained in Salinas Pliego's custody account. Rather than providing proof, Astor Capital claimed the inquiry constituted forbidden interference and asserted unrestricted rights over the collateral. When the London broker involved in arranging the deal questioned whether Astor was short-selling the stock, 'Mitchell' responded dismissively that borrowing shares represented normal market operations, according to the Journal. Salinas Pliego's attempt to prepay the loan in July 2024 triggered the final phase of the fraud. Advertisement Three weeks later, Astor Capital issued a default notice citing eleven violations, including the verification request, allegedly late interest payments and a Mexican government investigation into some of Salinas Pliego's companies. Legal filings cited by the Journal reveal that Salinas Pliego represented just one victim in a much larger operation. 7 American millionaire businessman and lieutenant colonel in the Spanish-American War, John Jacob Astor IV (1864 – 1912), circa 1898. Getty Images Sklarov allegedly controlled approximately three-quarters of a billion dollars worth of stock from multiple borrowers across the United States, United Kingdom and Asia over several years. His victims included other wealthy executives who fell for similar schemes involving companies with prestigious names like Cornelius Vanderbilt Capital Management, Shearson Lehman and Bentley Rothschild. The fraud exploited a legitimate but loosely regulated corner of finance known as securities-based lending, where wealthy individuals can access cash without selling their stock holdings. While major Swiss and American banks dominate this market, estimated by Deloitte at $4.3 trillion globally, opportunities exist for less scrupulous operators to exploit borrowers seeking alternative funding sources. 7 Sklarov's lawyer and longtime associate appears to have covertly funneled Salinas's money into a series of high-end real estate purchases across the United States and Europe. Derry, Tessa Salinas Pliego's legal team has launched an aggressive recovery campaign, obtaining a court order freezing $400 million in London commercial court and applying for access to US bank records to trace proceeds from the share sales. Their investigation uncovered the complex money flows underlying the scheme, including nearly $300 million moving through accounts controlled by Sklarov's New York attorney before returning to offshore entities. The fraudster, now living in Greece with his family and reportedly owning multiple properties plus a yacht recently renamed 'Enchantment,' continues to deny wrongdoing. In his defense, Sklarov told the Journal that he operates in the high-risk lending market and maintains that borrowers understood their stock could be lent to other parties. He argues that Astor Capital only promised not to sell shares directly on public exchanges, leaving room for transfers to third parties who might then execute sales. Despite his vast wealth, Salinas Pliego expressed genuine embarrassment about falling victim to the scheme. 'On the one hand it makes me look like an absolute idiot,' Salinas Pliego told the Journal when asked about his his legal campaign to claw back the money. 'On the other hand I feel like something needs to be done.'

Fed decision, jobs report will step out into spotlight
It's rare that folks think about a week of economic reports as potentially dramatic. This week, however, has the potential to be very dramatic.

Trump said Sunday the European Union has agreed to a deal that envisions tariffs on European goods at 15%. The United States is still negotiating on tariffs with China, Canada and others. So far, stock investors are happy to get a settlement. Stock index futures were signaling stocks will open higher on Monday. Gains would come after the Standard & Poor's 500, Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq-100 indexes all hit record highs last week. And, of course, there's the Federal Reserve meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. Will the central bank cut its key federal funds rate, not at 4.25% to 4.5%? Donald Trump wants a rate cut badly now. Treasury Scott Bessent says he wants it. Howard Lutnick, the Commerce Secretary, says he wants it. Two Fed governors, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, are for it. But the other 10 voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee, including Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, have said they're content to wait, probably until the Fed's Sept. 16-17 meeting.

Powell is not opposed to cutting later and, in fact, the futures markets think the Fed will decide to wait until September. A second rate cut will come in October or December.
