MercadoLibre, Inc.

Latin America's largest e-commerce and fintech platform — its 'Amazon plus PayPal'

What MercadoLibre does

MercadoLibre runs the leading online marketplace across Latin America, connecting millions of buyers and sellers, and pairs it with a fast-growing fintech arm, Mercado Pago, offering digital payments, credit and financial services. It also operates logistics (Mercado Envios), advertising and a subscription program across markets like Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.

How MercadoLibre makes money

MercadoLibre makes money from marketplace commissions and listing/advertising fees, from payment-processing fees and interest on credit through Mercado Pago, and from logistics and other services. As commerce and digital payments grow across a large, under-banked region, its two flywheels — marketplace and fintech — reinforce each other.
