Trámites fáciles, personas felices

Diariamente vivimos diferentes procesos y trámites: algunos más largos que otros, metódicos, estructurados, y que sin duda quitan tiempo y esfuerzo de la vida diaria. En base a esto, nace Ingenio Kushki, área especializada en simplificar procesos de manera creativa para devolverle tiempo a nuestros aliados mediante la automatización.

El tema de la simplificación de trámites para los ciudadanos no es nada nuevo. Según el Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina, Colombia tiene una madurez de Gobierno Digital de 5,05 (en una escala de 0 a 10), con un puntaje de 5,8 en la dimensión de digitalización de trámites. Como referencia, países como España tienen un promedio de 6,6 puntos. Dentro de la región, el país más avanzado es Chile con un puntaje promedio de 5,3 puntos.

En cuanto al resto del mundo, Estonia es el mayor referente en digitalización de trámites. Desde 1997 que vienen trabajando en este tema, y en 2018 fueron el primer país del mundo en digitalizar 100% su administración. Hoy, el 99% de sus trámites oficiales pueden realizarse desde un portal por internet.

En línea con eso, en Ingenio Kushki impulsamos la transformación de los gobiernos y empresas de América Latina, digitalizando e integrando procesos, con nuestras capacidades de procesamiento de pagos y desarrollo de software a la medida. Permitimos que millones de ciudadanos y empresas tengan acceso a documentos y trámites en línea de forma fácil, rápida y segura.

Dos ejemplos de nuestros proyectos de innovación y automatización son: Certifikado, una plataforma donde potenciamos la capacidad de las empresas de gestionar servicios documentales en línea, de forma sencilla y segura, para lograr sus metas. Tal es el caso de Habi, el primer unicornio del sector inmobiliario digital, que ahora mediante Certifikado ha encontrado eficiencias en su ecosistema digital.

El siguiente es Detekta una completa herramienta que permite conocer rápidamente los elementos claves de una propiedad o inmueble y de sus propietarios, con el objetivo de evitar riesgos al momento de iniciar una negociación de compra o venta.

Con nuestro Detekta - Estado Jurídico de la Propiedad, podrás analizar automáticamente el título de un inmueble a partir del certificado de Tradición y Libertad e identificar condiciones jurídicas claves como hipotecas, falsa tradición, embargos, demandas, entre otros.

Pagos ágiles

Retrocediendo un poco en la historia, desde hace algunos años que en Kushki había comenzado a surgir la necesidad de aprovechar los medios de pagos para revolucionar procesos que carecían de innovación, en donde faltaban plataformas digitales de pago para agilizarlos. Fue ahí donde se integró Manuel Steremberg, SVP de Ingenio Kushki, y surgió este nuevo negocio: un aliado para la transformación digital.

“Queremos dar valor a los gobiernos, a las empresas y a los ciudadanos a través de soluciones digitales, que les permitan pagar servicios o obtener documentos oficiales de forma digital, procesos que antes eran impensados” señala Manuel

El reto más importante para él en este rol en Ingenio Kushki, es poder sumar el conocimiento y las capacidades de Kushki como pasarela, adquirente y agregador, para armar soluciones personalizadas para clientes corporativos y gubernamentales.

Soluciones hechas en Latinoamérica, para Latinoamérica.

Imaginando esta línea de negocio en dos o tres años, Manuel Steremberg no duda en decir que le encantaría poder estar en más países y seguir conectando problemas que afectan a muchos con soluciones increíbles, para llegar a tener una región donde no tengas que hacer filas para trámites y puedas pagar y obtener sellos de los servicios, todo de manera digital.

“Eso va a ser posible si seguimos integrando nuestras soluciones de pago a todos los servicios de Gobierno”

Además, cada país de la región tiene sus respectivos sistemas gubernamentales, un factor que complejiza todo. El hecho de que Ingenio Kushki provea soluciones hechas en Latinoamérica para latinoamericanos entrega confianza, porque tenemos conocimiento del contexto local.

En palabras simples:

“Con Ingenio Kushki queremos llegar a resolver problemas. Para los gobiernos, la complejidad para recaudar hoy es enorme, mientras que para los ciudadanos, el hacer trámites de forma sencilla es ahora muy lejano. Por ello nuestro negocio es interesante y relevante para todos. Kushki ofrece soluciones sólidas para todos: gobierno, empresas y ciudadanos, y es eso lo que nos hace únicos”, señala Manuel.

Digitized Latin America: a tour of 5 countries

Digitized Latin America: a tour of 5 countries

Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia are the countries that we have covered with our Digitized Latin America report, carried out jointly with Americas Market Intelligence (AMI). Very different countries, but with one element in common: the impressive growth of digitization and the use of fintech technologies in recent times. The industry has changed, and consumers are constantly changing. Therefore, here we will review what each of these 5 countries is up to. Ecuador Ecuador is one of the most traditional countries in terms of the financial world. Its citizens tend to remain loyal to a bank for long periods. Even though fintech companies are operating, banks are seen as the main drivers of innovation. Today, digital payments in that country are represented mostly by credit cards, particularly in e-commerce, which added a total volume of US $3 MM in 2021. Also, cross-border transactions represent the majority of Ecuadorian electronic commerce. Mexico The Latin American giant, a pioneer in Fintech Law and electronic commerce, continues to struggle with the use of cash in its population. Its GDP of 1,293 dollars is largely influenced by remittances sent from the United States, which accumulated more than US $43 million in 2021. Despite its large size, a large part of the Mexican population is under-banked: almost half of the population does not have a bank account. For this reason, Mexico has experienced a boom in fintech companies for the underserved population, especially those focused on Millennials and Generation Z. Chile This southern country has mature and innovative banking, with a GDP per capita of approximately US$15,000. It is an attractive country for investors due to its stable currency and its macroeconomic environment. Thanks to an initiative by Banco Estado, debit cards are universally available and this has led the country to be number one in the region in penetration of contactless payments. The fintech sector has lagged slightly, but with the entry of the 4-part payment model, new acquirers have been added and competition has increased. In October of this year, the country's fintech regulation project was approved, joining several neighboring countries in the region. Colombia Colombia has been a pioneer in terms of fintech innovation in recent years. From its regulatory initiatives such as the Crypto Zone to its projects to increase internet access, everything has been done so that the financial inclusion of its population increases, exceeding the 90% banking rate. Digital wallets have also gained space, representing 76% of the population. Its e-commerce has grown surprisingly, at a rate of 25% per year, largely driven by the PSE Button, an online button that allows you to pay by bank transfer, which has led to the Colombian market having the largest share of transfers as a method of payment in e-commerce. Peru This Andean country had explosive growth in e-commerce during the pandemic, mainly because the percentage of the population that had never bought online was high. Digital wallets have gained a lot of strength in that country, consolidating their presence even in the smallest businesses. Even wallets such as Yape or Bim have been used to pay subsidies and state aid and to reach the bulk of the population.

Financial inclusion and internet access: Colombia's formula to digitize

Financial inclusion and internet access: Colombia's formula to digitize

Colombia has positioned itself as a hotbed of fintech innovation in recent years. Do you want to know why? We will talk about the reasons for this and much more today in a new installment of Digitized Latin America, together with Americas Market Intelligence. Digitization as a priority For several years, Colombia has been working to improve the financial inclusion of its population, which in 2021 reached 51 million people. In 2014, the SEDPE law was approved, which allows fintech companies to issue digital money and offer simplified accounts. With this regulation, financial inclusion has gradually increased over the years, and today the rate of access to banking services is over 90%. Digital wallets also have an impressive share in Colombia, with 76% of the population using them. Super apps like DaviPlata, Nequi, or Movii enable public transport payments, social benefits, and even international remittances, among various other operations. However, there is still a gap to work on in the country: internet access. Its mountainous geography means that only 26% of rural areas in Colombia have an internet connection. The government has taken on the task of solving this with three projects: Hogares Conectados, Navega TIC, and Zonas Digitales, which address aspects such as discounted internet rates, Wi-Fi access points, and the provision of free SIM cards. E-commerce and new fintech models Electronic commerce in Colombia has been growing at a rate of 25% per year, driven by the PSE button, an online payment button that allows a bank transfer as a payment method. The Colombian market has the highest share of bank transfers in payments for e-commerce, which demonstrates the need to implement other payment methods in addition to cards. Regarding new models, in Colombia, the BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later) modality has been promoted with Addi, a company from that country that is gaining strength in this segment. The emergence of these companies is explained by the fact that Colombian financial regulators are among the most innovative in Latin America. For some years now, they have implemented a “crypto zone”, allowing cryptocurrency exchanges to experiment with deposit and withdrawal functionalities.

Peru: a promising market for electronic commerce

Peru: a promising market for electronic commerce

Last update: June 2025 Although it is not one of the largest countries in the region, Peru is positioned as one of the most vibrant markets with the greatest potential for digital growth in Latin America. With more than 34 million inhabitants, an expanding banking system, and increasing digital penetration, the country represents a great opportunity for the development of e-commerce and digital payments. In this edition, together with data from Americas Market Intelligence (AMI) and other updated sources, we explore the reasons why Peru is emerging as a strategic market for the digital economy. A turning point The pandemic triggered a structural transformation in Peru's e-commerce sector. In 2020, e-commerce grew by 55% year-on-year, and in 2021, it achieved an impressive 91% growth. Since then, digitization has maintained its momentum. By 2024, Peruvian e-commerce is estimated to reach USD $23 billion, with a year-on-year growth of 15%. This figure reflects a market that, although more mature than a few years ago, continues to consolidate thanks to consumer digital behavior and the greater availability of online payment solutions. Digital wallets have become a key tool in this evolution. According to recent figures, 72% of adults in Peru already use a digital wallet, with an average of 340 transactions per second. Platforms such as Yape, Plin, and Bim are leading this trend, even integrating segments traditionally excluded from the financial system. The public sector's impetus Since 2018, the Peruvian government has strongly promoted the digitization of the country. That year, Gob.pe was launched, a platform that centralizes government procedures and services and currently offers more than 7,000 digital services to citizens. During the pandemic, this commitment became even more relevant. The government launched the Yanapay subsidy, an economic benefit delivered through banks and digital wallets, which allowed thousands of underbanked people to be financially included. Today, the country reports that 65% of its population is now banked, a considerable increase over previous years. A digital infrastructure that enables growth In addition to advances in financial inclusion, Peru has an increasingly robust digital infrastructure: - Internet penetration: 74.7% - Smartphone penetration: more than 7.26 million units sold in 2024 (+27.6% vs. 2023) - Current GDP: USD $289 billion, with 3.3% growth These indicators reflect an environment ready to scale digital solutions, improve user experience, and boost conversion to digital channels. What's next for Peru? Peru continues to take firm steps toward a more digital, inclusive, and connected economy. The growth of e-commerce, the widespread use of digital wallets, increased internet access, and the government's commitment to digital transformation form a solid foundation for the country's future. For businesses and companies operating in Peru—or looking to enter the market—now is the ideal time to invest in modern, secure payment experiences that are aligned with new consumer preferences.
