70% of Latin American population is unbanked or underbanked (around 400 Million people) while SMEs unsatisfied financial need is around 250B USD.
Extended usage of cash (which renders useless services like bank transactions and paying the maintenance of said accounts), no proximity to a financial service provider, and lack of proper documentation are the main reasons preventing financial inclusion. (Data by IDB and WB).

Local currencies are very unstable, they offer no trustworthiness, saving value and/or predictability. (Argentinean Peso went fr om 10 AR$/USD to 145 AR$/USD in less than 5 years).

Why now?
The COVID pandemic is forcing the complete digitalization of money.
Merchants with physical stores need to go digital, and once they go digital, they need tools both for payment processing as for financial hedging in countries wh ere currencies depreciate on a daily basis

Vision: accelerate the transition into the future of commerce and money.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between financial excluded with banking and the new economy, freeing finances, making them sustainable, independent and creating a borderless economy for everyone.

Targeted problems:

Stores:
Cash management. Theft Risk. Human error in petty cash accounting. Financial transparency and access to financial services. Low customer loyalty/engagement. digitalization of operations.

Users:
Accessibility to ATMs and financial services. Financial services cost. Macroeconomic risks (Money cost of opportunity, Currency devaluation, inflation, etc).

We are creating the most innovative and groundbreaking payments + banking company in the emerging markets of the next decade.
Imagine that Stripe, Square and Cashapp had a child, well, that's Lemon.
At Lemon, we have more than 300 merchants processing their online payments (Stripe like) and their physical payments (PoS/Square like) with our propietary PoS technology which allows both traditional payments (Credit, Debit & QR) and cryptocurrency payments. In addition, merchants that process payments with traditional methods (Cards), they can inmediately purchase crypto in 3 taps once they received their customer funds, allowing a quick and easy transition from Business and Personal funds/cashflow from traditional to crypto.
On the other hand, for retail users, Lemon works as a Neo Bank (Cashapp like), which allows both to send and receive bank transfers or crypto transfers.
We are working to develop an automated swap protocol, which will allow users to choose in what currency they wish to pay (Fiat or Crypto) and Merchants to choose in what currency they wish to receive the payment (Fiat or Crypto).

We aim to acquire 60.000 merchants during 2021 to process their payments with us, and to have the biggest merchant network created by a crypto company by 2022.

We are creating the first all in one super app for people to transition between traditional commerce and finances into the new digital economy.

We understand that we need to rely on traditional infrastructure and traditional services to smooth the transition of people into the new economy. UX is everything, and it's our core driver. We also know that every jurisdiction in LATAM has it's own playbook, and the value proposition has to shift to serve the biggest pain points. That's why we created a modular and very flexible service that can leverage on local providers, local infrastructure and local regulatory frameworks. Finally we believe BlockChain and descentralized finances are the future, and they are the perfect complement for the supply of solutions, development, and wealth generation that traditional economy on it's own has not been able to properly cover/serve in the region.
