Este financiamiento será destinado exclusivamente a su expansión en los países donde opera, con énfasis en México. “Es un tema muy relevante en el contexto actual, si bien es complejo a nivel global, no significa que debamos detenernos.

Desde su llegada al país en el 2018, Tala ha otorgado más de 15 millones de créditos a 3 millones de clientes. Pese a el avance en el acceso a crédito, la empresa ve una demanda aún mayor y una gran necesidad en el mercado mexicano, según lo mencionado por el director de Tala en México. “Con esta línea de crédito, no buscamos llegar a un segmento completamente diferente ni cambiar significativamente nuestro producto. Nuestro objetivo es ampliar el acceso para nuestro segmento actual y ofrecer a nuestros clientes un producto que realmente les ayude a crecer”, mencionó Lask. A nivel global, además de México, la financiera opera en Kenia, Filipinas e India, atendiendo a 10 millones de personas. Esto significa que la empresa otorga más de 1,000 créditos por hora, de acuerdo con lo indicado por Lask.
