“We are very proud to have achieved it in just five years, I think that shows the growing interest of people in this type of loan and the potential we have as a sector,” said Rubén Chávez, CEO of the company.

The manager of yotepresto.com He highlighted that, despite imposing great challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic did not prevent fintech from placing one billion pesos through a relatively recent scheme in the country.
