Expansion potential With a focus on Latin America and partnerships like Lemon Card in Peru, Pomelo is positioned to scale merchant acceptance and cross-border card programs, offering opportunities to align with regional fintechs and banks seeking modern card issuing capabilities.

Fintech focus Pomelo specializes in issuing processing and management of credit, debit, and prepaid cards, presenting a ready-made solution stack for fintechs and neobanks looking to launch or scale card programs quickly in emerging markets.
