i2c Named Most Innovative Fintech in Latin America by Global Finance Magazine

Recognition highlights i2c’s AI-driven fraud risk management solution and its role helping Latin American financial institutions modernize fraud prevention in real time

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--i2c Inc., a global financial technology innovator, has been named Most Innovative Fintech in Latin America by Global Finance Magazine as part of its Innovators 2026 Awards. The awards program honors the most forward-looking financial technology companies shaping the future of financial services across global markets with breakthrough thinking and trailblazing solutions.

i2c was recognized by Global Finance Magazine for its AI-driven Fraud Risk Management solution, which is helping financial institutions across Latin America modernize fraud prevention as digital payments adoption accelerates and fraud threats grow more sophisticated.

Embedded directly within i2c’s unified banking and payments platform, the solution evaluates risk in real time at the point of transaction authorization, enabling issuers to detect fraud earlier, reduce operational complexity, and improve customer experience without sacrificing approval rates.

“We’re honored to be recognized by Global Finance Magazine as the Most Innovative Fintech in Latin America,” said Matt Pearce, VP, Fraud Risk Management and Dispute Operations at i2c. “As digital payments accelerate across the region, institutions need more agile, intelligent ways to manage risk without adding complexity. This achievement reflects the work our team is doing to help clients modernize fraud prevention with greater speed, precision, and control.”

The need for more adaptive fraud prevention is especially urgent as fraud vectors tied to mobile wallets, cross-border commerce, and rapid digital onboarding become more complex. Traditional tools, often reliant on static rules or delayed model refreshes, can struggle to adapt in real time. i2c addresses this challenge by embedding machine learning-driven fraud analytics directly into its core platform, eliminating the need for third-party overlays and enabling faster, more adaptive fraud decisioning.

i2c supports a growing roster of financial institutions and fintech innovators across Latin America, helping clients move beyond legacy infrastructure, launch digital-first payment and banking experiences, and scale more efficiently in increasingly competitive markets. By combining credit, debit, and prepaid issuer processing; core banking; and money movement capabilities in a single platform, i2c enables institutions to bring products to market more efficiently, simplify operations, and deliver more relevant customer experiences at scale.

The company has helped Dominican Republic-based Qik Banco Digital deliver secure, mobile-first payment experiences for an increasingly digital-first Latin American market. Through the detailed examination of fraud patterns and market trends to anticipate emerging risks, i2c defined new rules that strengthened prevention strategies and enabled best-in-market authorization, fraud, and chargeback performance for Qik.

“As the country’s first and only neobank, we believe the future of digital banking lies in striking the right balance between growth, risk, and user experience,” said Arturo Grullón, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Qik. “At Qik, we’re advancing credit and risk innovation through our use of i2c’s fraud solutions, strengthening rule design, transaction segmentation, and intelligent decisioning to continuously optimize approval strategies while maintaining low fraud exposure.”
