"Just like the first chapter, this one will offer everyone a deep dive into how Latin America is changing, how payments and financial industries are helping in this new era of digitization that was fast-forwarded by the pandemic but will outlast it. We will tell these stories through the eyes of Latin American entities and businesses and global companies that are thriving here and that believe in the region as much as we do," said João Del Valle, co-founder and COO of EBANX.
