How real businesses use Mesta.

Mandioca is a leading fintech platform and trade aggregator serving several hundred enterprises across Latin America — facilitating hundreds of millions of dollars in trade between LATAM and Asia, with a particularly strong presence in the Colombia–China corridor.

Many of its customers maintain a significant portion of working capital in stablecoins to reduce exposure to local currency volatility while preserving liquidity for international trade. These businesses regularly transact with suppliers across China, Hong Kong, and Singapore, where commercial settlements are predominantly conducted in U.S. dollars.

As trade volumes grew, Mandioca sought a payment infrastructure capable of supporting both blockchain-native treasury operations and traditional international banking rails within a single operating model.

Managing these movements required multiple providers, fragmented operational processes, and lengthy customer onboarding — creating unnecessary complexity as Mandioca expanded its trade network.

Copperx — building a stablecoin-based neobank — faced operational drag from traditional payment providers that were slow, expensive, and unreliable.

Legacy rails caused 1–3 business-day settlement, high fees, and inadequate support, putting strain on operations and customer trust.

Latin American remittance flows demanded near-instant settlement, low cost, and consistent uptime — capabilities legacy correspondent banking could not deliver.
