Amid accelerating digitalization of trade and the regional expansion of financial and non-financial companies, Alfred has built a payments infrastructure platform designed to solve the complexity of moving money between Latin American countries through a unified integration that connects local financial systems with digital asset-based technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a B2B platform, Alfred integrates local bank rails, real-time payment systems and stablecoins into a single API. This architecture enables Fintechs, financial institutions, marketplaces and multinational companies to operate cross-border payments in the region with greater speed, transparency and control, while reducing friction and reliance on traditional intermediaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With active operations in Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina, Alfred has processed nearly four million transactions and impacted more than 2.5 million users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alfred enables international settlements in minutes and supports currency exchange across MXN, BRL, COP, ARS and USD, simplifying the management of capital flows across multiple jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To accelerate its growth, Alfred has closed a US$15 million Series A funding round led by F-Prime Capital, with participation from Brevan Howard Digital and WhiteStar Capital. The funds will be used to strengthen the company\u2019s technological, regulatory and operational infrastructure, supporting continued regional expansion and increased transaction volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe future of payments will be built on Blockchain-based stablecoins and modern rails. Alfred addresses a critical need by modernizing the global payments infrastructure in Latin America. The team demonstrates a strong commitment to customers and regulatory compliance,\u201d said F-Prime Capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis support allows us to deepen our infrastructure and better serve companies that need to operate cross-border payments at a regional scale,\u201d said Diego Y\u00e1nez, CEO and Co-founder, Alfred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alfred uses stablecoins as a settlement rail that is fully integrated with the traditional financial system. This model allows the movement of value to be decoupled from local banking constraints while preserving traceability, transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe challenge was not only technological, but also one of trust. Connecting traditional banking, real-time payments and Blockchain requires respecting financial system rules without slowing innovation,\u201d said Mat\u00edas Plano, Co-founder, Alfred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An important milestone in the company\u2019s early development was a US$250,000 grant awarded by the Stella Community Fund in 2021. This funding enabled Alfred to build its first operational product and establish the foundation for its digital asset-based payment model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond Latin America, Alfred has developed strategic payment corridors, including Asia\u2013Latam, one of the world\u2019s fastest-growing trade routes with annual volumes exceeding US$600 billion. These initiatives position Alfred as a key enabler in the evolution of cross-border payments across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand coverage to additional Latin American markets, invest in risk management and compliance tooling and enhance developer capabilities through improved documentation and analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By combining regulated financial rails with digital assets, Alfred aims to offer resilient infrastructure for enterprises navigating volatile currencies, fragmented regulations and growing demand for instant settlement across borders, industries and business models. This approach supports scalable growth for clients operating regionally and globally in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
