Problem
Many consumers in Chile lack access to credit cards or formal credit, limiting their ability to make purchases in installments. Traditional credit evaluation systems fail to identify creditworthy individuals without banking history, while those with credit cards often face opaque terms and hidden fees.
Solution
banca.me provides a digital platform that lets consumers buy products in installments without needing a credit card. Users browse 1,500+ affiliated merchants, select an installment plan, and see the complete cost breakdown—including interest, commission, and total—before confirming the purchase. The platform evaluates creditworthiness using alternative data sources, enabling approval for consumers typically excluded from traditional credit systems. The company also offers mortgage credit and down payment financing, with a fully online process that eliminates paperwork and branch visits.
