Grupalia – Platform for bond investors

10 Nov 2025 — 1 min read

Mexico runs on microbusinesses: street stalls, tiny shops, home-based makers. They move about $300B of GDP. But banking for them still feels like 1999.

Grupalia is a neobank built for this reality.

It starts with digital group lending that people already trust. Money can arrive in under 24 hours. Next come the everyday tools they need: an account, working capital, and simple cash-flow insights.

The team built quietly for 18 months and raised a $4.8M pre-seed. The goal is clear phone-first finance for 4.5M micro SMEs. Service that fits the day, not branch hours.

When the smallest businesses get modern banking, they grow and hire. Families get stability. Neighborhoods get momentum.

This project drew the most engagement on FinBox Solutions' feed last week. So it takes the Fintech of the week spot.

Every day, I feature one curated fintech on the FinBox Solutions page.

Will this be the bank that Mexico's microbusinesses actually use?
