Investment Thesis

There are more than 4.5M Venezuelan migrants across LatAm. Migrants mostly make up a larger proportion of working-age persons compared to the national population; many of them are successful entrepreneurs, skilled savers, have built assets as well as extensive social networks; however, most of this happens outside the formal financial systems. Migrante promotes financial inclusion by becoming the regional bank for immigrants in LatAm, with a particular focus on Venezuelan migrants.
