How Mandioca streamlined cross-border trade between Latin America and Asia with 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.

For businesses engaged in international trade, treasury management increasingly spans both traditional financial infrastructure and blockchain-based assets. Supporting that model requires more than payment processing — it requires infrastructure that can move value seamlessly between both worlds.

By combining stablecoin conversions, virtual USD accounts, compliance, and global payment rails within a single operating platform, Mesta enabled Mandioca to simplify treasury operations, accelerate customer onboarding, and support the continued growth of trade between Latin America and Asia.
