Last week, I contributed to The Dialogue’s Financial Services Advisor on the recent debate around Pix and its role in Brazil’s payment ecosystem.

The discussion touches on issues that are becoming increasingly relevant globally, including public digital infrastructure, competition in payments and the resilience of domestic financial systems.

In my comments, I highlighted how Pix has helped expand financial inclusion in Brazil, lower transaction costs and create a common infrastructure on which banks, fintechs and payment institutions can compete and innovate.

I also mentioned the broader strategic dimension of payments. Having strong domestic infrastructure does not mean closing the market to international players. Brazil’s experience shows that public infrastructure and private-sector competition can coexist and contribute to a more efficient ecosystem.

Thanks to Gene Kuleta and The Dialogue for the invitation.

Brazil has become an important reference for how public digital infrastructure can transform financial services and provide inclusion.

Pix and Open Finance are good examples. Both created common infrastructure that expanded access, lowered barriers and gave financial institutions and fintechs new rails on which to innovate.

And their influence is increasingly visible beyond Brazil, as other countries look at different elements of the Brazilian experience when developing their own payment and data-sharing ecosystems.

I had the opportunity to discuss this, along with some of the latest developments in Brazilian financial services, on episode 1086 of the Fintech Insider podcast by 11:FS, alongside Kate Moody, Neira Jones and Matthew Goldman.

Here’s a short clip from our conversation.

[🇬🇧] Pix has become one of the world’s most successful instant payment systems and, more recently, part of the trade tensions between Brazil and the United States.

I spoke with Chilean newspaper El Mercurio about why describing Pix as anticompetitive offers an incomplete view. It is an open infrastructure that allows banks, fintechs and other providers to build services on top of it. It has expanded consumer choice and pushed the payments market to compete on price, convenience and innovation.

The debate also touches on payment sovereignty. Payments are strategic infrastructure, and countries should be able to ensure resilience, accessibility and competition without depending exclusively on a small number of international networks.

Thank you to Nicolás García de Val for the thoughtful article and for including my perspective.

[🇪🇸] Pix se ha convertido en uno de los sistemas de pagos instantáneos más exitosos del mundo y, más recientemente, en parte de las tensiones comerciales entre Brasil y Estados Unidos.

Hablé con el diario chileno El Mercurio sobre por qué describir a Pix como anticompetitivo ofrece una visión incompleta. Es una infraestructura abierta que permite a bancos, fintechs y otros proveedores desarrollar servicios sobre ella. Además, amplió las opciones para los consumidores y llevó al mercado de pagos a competir en precio, conveniencia e innovación.

La discusión también involucra la soberanía de pagos. Los pagos son una infraestructura estratégica y los países deben poder garantizar resiliencia, acceso y competencia sin depender exclusivamente de un número reducido de redes internacionales.

Gracias a Nicolas García de Val por el excelente artículo y por incluir mi perspectiva.

Earlier this month, I spoke at Suichéate 2026 in Caracas, an invitation-only event organized by Suiche 7B for leaders from Venezuela’s banking, payments and technology ecosystem.

It was my first visit to Venezuela, and I was impressed by the country’s transformation and the ambition to modernize its payment infrastructure.

In my session, I shared perspectives on the evolving payments landscape in Latin America, including instant payments, interoperability, digital wallets and local payment infrastructure.

Congratulations to Suiche 7B for organizing such a strong event, and thanks to the team for the invitation and warm hospitality.

It was also a pleasure to share the stage with Carlos Jiménez, Ramón Heredia and Madelein Suárez, with Ana Vacarella as moderator.

I leave Caracas grateful for the experience and optimistic about Latin America’s role in financial innovation.

Recentemente, gravei um episódio do Fintech Talks com Alexandre Reda, CEO da fintech Atlas Inc, para discutir o Investment Banking na era da tokenização e da inteligência artificial. A conversa foi um dos motivadores para a escrita do meu último artigo, publicado na minha coluna no FEBRABAN TECH.

Nele, eu destaco como novas ferramentas baseadas em agentes e ativos digitais começam a mexer com a forma como bancos estruturam, distribuem e executam operações no mercado de capitais, algo que deverá transformar profundamente a dinâmica do setor nos próximos anos.

Muy contento de participar en Suichéate 2026, un encuentro que reunirá a líderes del ecosistema financiero venezolano para discutir el futuro de los pagos digitales, la infraestructura financiera y las nuevas dinámicas de innovación en América Latina.

Será una gran oportunidad para intercambiar visiones sobre interoperabilidad, tiempo real, experiencias financieras más integradas y cómo la región está construyendo modelos propios de evolución tecnológica en medios de pago.

Además, será un placer compartir escenario con grandes nombres como Carlos Jiménez, Ramón Heredia y Madelein Suárez.

Nos vemos el próximo 03 de junio en Caracas!

Latin America is growing fast in e-commerce, but turning that growth into tangible results depends on understanding how payments behave locally.

In this clip from my conversation on Fintech Insider Insights (by 11FS), alongside Benjamin Ensor and Motie Bring, I highlight why payment strategy needs to take into account the fragmentation of this segment in the region.

There is a lot of opportunity, but adaptable ex*****on on the ground makes all the difference.

Latin America is one of the fastest-growing e-commerce markets in the world, but succeeding here requires far more than simply entering the market.

I recently joined the latest episode of Fintech Insider Insights alongside Benjamin Ensor and Motie Bring, to discuss why APAC merchants are increasingly expanding into LATAM, the US$100 billion cross-border opportunity, and why payments strategy has become a decisive factor for growth.

We explored the main barriers global merchants face, the importance of local payment methods, and the practical strategies needed to compete and scale across Latin America.

A great conversation on one of the most dynamic regions in global commerce.
