Fintech companies in Latin America are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence to enhance financial management and commerce.

Mercado Pago introduced MAGO, an AI personal assistant that allows users to manage finances through natural language via text, voice, or images. The tool, which integrates over 100 functionalities such as bill payments and fraud detection, has expanded from an initial rollout in Chile to Mexico.

In Argentina, MODO partnered with OpenAI to launch agentic commerce. This integration allows users to search for and compare products within ChatGPT, using the AI to handle product selection before redirecting to the MODO app to finalize transactions via QR code. Frávega has become the first retailer to participate in this initiative.
