Thredd, a leading next-generation global payments processor, has entered into a strategic partnership with Payblr, a Puerto Rico-based regional payments enabler and licensed BIN Sponsor. The collaboration aims to empower global fintechs with the regulatory framework and issuing infrastructure needed to launch and scale operations across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).
This partnership brings together Thredd’s flexible, modular payments technology and global processing capabilities with Payblr’s expertise in cross-border card issuance. The result is a simplified, end-to-end solution that removes traditional barriers to entry in LAC markets—enabling fintechs to bring innovative financial products to market more efficiently and with fewer operational hurdles.
“This partnership is about removing barriers for today’s most innovative payment leaders,” said Kevin Fox, Chief Revenue Officer for Thredd. “Expanding into new regions can be complex and difficult to navigate. By teaming up with Payblr, we’re offering a faster, simpler way for our clients to activate programs in Latin America, without compromising on compliance, scalability, or speed.”

“Thredd shares our belief that financial innovation should move fast and know no borders,” said Fabio Garcia Passalacqua, COO & Founder of Payblr. “Through our partnership, we’re enabling high-growth companies to expand across Latin America quickly, without many of the regulatory and operational hurdles that often slow global fintechs down. This partnership lays the foundation for a new era of seamless, cross-border payments in the region.”
Payblr’s ability to support U.S. dollar card programs throughout much of Latin America positions it as a strategic enabler for fintechs offering services such as gig economy payouts, international disbursements, and cross-border financial products. According to Thredd, several clients have already begun leveraging the infrastructure established by the partnership to successfully activate programs within the region.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in simplifying fintech expansion and unlocking new growth opportunities in one of the fastest-evolving financial landscapes in the world.
