Kushki means money in *Kichwa;* the native language of the people of the same name in Ecuador. For its founders, bringing visibility to the potential of all of Latin America is a fundamental part of the company's mission.

We started as a Paytech that was created with the purpose of *connecting Latin America with payments* through innovation, technology and inclusion. Formed by a team of entrepreneurs, technicians, executives, and creatives that together, generate a unique synergy that is revolutionizing the digital payments industry.

Now, we are regional acquirers, a model that has taken us to a higher level in the value chain of the payment ecosystem in the Latin market, since we handle the transaction from end to end and manage it directly with the VISA and Mastercard brands; in addition to multiple benefits, both for end users and for our partners.
