Expansion across Latin America

Basikon and AMFE (Mexican Association of Specialised Financial Entities) have announced a collaboration aimed at accelerating the technological modernisation of Mexico’s financial sector. The partnership marks a significant step in Basikon’s expansion across Latin America, as we become an official member of AMFE.

The partnership will be formally introduced on 20 May in Mexico City, during one of AMFE’s exclusive breakfast sessions — part of the association’s strategic communication and engagement initiatives.

A Shared Vision for Financial Innovation

With over 30 years of experience and a network of 35 affiliated companies, AMFE represents financial institutions operating in key sectors such as automotive, agribusiness, real estate, SMEs, personal lending, and digital credit. Basikon’s incorporation into AMFE reinforces its strategic positioning in the region, particularly in Mexico, which is a priority market due to its scale and the maturity of its specialized credit ecosystem.

Both organizations share a common vision: to equip credit institutions with cutting-edge technology that enables them to address evolving challenges in digital transformation, omnichannel distribution, and artificial intelligence integration.

Our entry into AMFE goes far beyond membership — it’s a strategic partnership to work alongside Mexican financial institutions in their digital evolution. We share AMFE’s belief that innovation and operational efficiency are essential to expanding access to finance in Mexico, says Thomas Nokin, Founder & CEO of Basikon.

Over the past 12 months, Basikon has launched operations in Colombia, Peru, and Central America, responding to a market environment defined by accelerated digital transformation, increasing financial inclusion, and ongoing macroeconomic challenges. For Basikon, the Latin American financial sector presents a good opportunity to drive innovation, foster public-private collaboration, and create solutions that broaden and enhance access to financing.

Latin America’s fintech ecosystem is among the most dynamic globally, with Mexico and Brazil leading in the number of active financial startups. At the same time, regulatory frameworks are evolving, as governments and central banks adjust policies to support innovation while safeguarding financial system stability. This combination sets the stage for sustained growth — marked by greater adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence, open finance, and digital lending, all of which are transforming how financial services are designed, delivered, and experienced in the region.

Throughout 2025, Basikon will actively participate in AMFE’s technical and innovation forums, offering live platform demonstrations, launching digital transformation pilot projects, and showcasing the direct impact of its solutions on operational efficiency and customer experience.
