Visa’s $1 Billion Acquisition of Pismo Expands Footprint in Latin America

By Ishaan Negi

With the purchase of Brazilian fintech platform Pismo for $1 billion in cash, payments behemoth Visa Inc. has taken a huge step towards growing its influence in Latin America. Despite a recent downturn in fundraising, the sale, which is the largest fintech exit in the area since Nubank’s IPO in 2021, demonstrates increased confidence in Latin America’s fintech industry.
