SAN FRANCISCO, 1 de noviembre de 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- PayJoy, una compañía líder de acceso al crédito en mercados emergentes a través del financiamiento de teléfonos inteligentes, firma hoy un acuerdo de financiamiento de deuda por US$ 20 millones con Arc Labs, un socio empresarial para compañías innovadoras que atienden al sector no bancarizado. El sistema de financiamiento "pay-as-you-go" (pago según el uso) patentado de PayJoy ayuda a los consumidores no solo con el financiamiento del dispositivo móvil, sino también con préstamos inseguros, usando el teléfono del cliente para asegurar datos y como garantía. PayJoy utilizará el financiamiento de Arc Labs para difundir la inclusión financiera y opciones alternativas de financiamiento en toda la nación en México.

PayJoy inventó el financiamiento móvil "pay-as-you-go" con su herramienta patentada Checkout, que financia a personas sin cuenta bancaria, y la tecnología Lock, que bloquea el acceso a las aplicaciones en un teléfono, excepto para llamadas de emergencia, cuando un cliente no efectúa un pago.

PayJoy está llevando la entrada a la inclusión económica con un teléfono inteligente un paso más allá mediante la creación de la línea de crédito telefónica: después de pagar completamente un teléfono inteligente con PayJoy, las personas a menudo califican para un préstamo adicional de US$ 100 garantizado por el equipo. Además, los clientes no bancarizados sin atrasos suelen obtener una puntuación FICO promedio de 615 puntos, que alcanza para solicitar y recibir aprobación para una tarjeta de crédito. PayJoy establece así un proceso para crear identidades financieras y acceso al sector financiero formal para la base de la pirámide en todo el mundo.

"Estamos encantados de asociarnos con PayJoy y creemos que su tecnología exclusiva democratizará el acceso a los teléfonos inteligentes al ofrecer financiamiento a personas previamente excluidas del sistema bancario", dice James Sagan, socio gerente de Arc Labs. "Es un honor para nosotros estar trabajando con todo el equipo de PayJoy para lograr esta misión importante".

PayJoy planea generalizar su acceso al crédito en México, donde actualmente ofrece sus propios planes de pago mensuales y licencias de terceros en 31 de los 32 estados y con 1600 comerciantes activos. El financiamiento ayudará a cerrar la brecha final en México, donde el 60% de la población carece de cuenta bancaria y solo el 13% tiene crédito establecido.

"La captación de fondos es realmente uno de los aspectos más duros de nuestro negocio. Hay que encontrar al inversor correcto, que con frecuencia no es el que solamente se siente cómodo con nuestros indicadores y nuestra tasa de rendimiento interna, sino que también comparte la misión de la compañía", afirma Mauricio Cordero, gerente general para América Latina. "Encontramos ese socio en Arc Labs, y esperamos poder seguir creciendo juntos y creando sinergias durante muchos años".

Acerca de PayJoy: La misión de PayJoy es hacer que los teléfonos inteligentes sean asequibles en todo el mundo mediante una tecnología exclusiva que permite a las personas que no tienen crédito comprar su primer teléfono inteligente con un plan de pago a plazos semanal o mensual. En la actualidad, la tecnología de bloqueo segura y la exclusiva ciencia de datos de PayJoy ofrecen financiamiento asequible de teléfonos inteligentes para segmentos no bancarizados en todo el mundo. PayJoy mantiene el objetivo de largo plazo de llegar a mil millones de personas en mercados emergentes. PayJoy es un equipo de 75 personas con experiencia de primer nivel en tecnología y préstamos, procedentes de Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Google, Facebook, Amazon, PIMCO, McKinsey, Prosper y Merrill Lynch. PayJoy se fundó en San Francisco y se financió con más de US$ 50 millones en capital social y de deuda de importantes inversores fintech, entre ellos, Union Square Ventures.

Acerca de Arc Labs: Arc Labs es un fondo de crédito de etapa temprana con sede en San Francisco, especializado en ofrecer capital de deuda creativo a compañías tecnológicas innovadoras. Arc Labs tiene su sede central en San Francisco e inversiones en América del Norte, América Latina y Asia.
