LONDON, June 2021 – RedCloud Technologies, the UK-headquartered global technology company has announced the extension of its local open commerce platform to Mexico to economically empower merchants of any size by enabling them to offer digital commerce to their customers through a single connected app.
RedCloud’s platform has already helped over 40,000 registered merchants to digitally serve over 1.2 million customers. The company has one of the world’s largest payment networks, allowing global brands to deliver a localized experience to the most vital parts of their retail chain. Stores and sellers are able to trade instantly with recognized brands, fast tracking them to the digital economy.
With the Red101 connected app, merchants provide commerce instantly through any connected device, selling electronic recharges of main brands like AT&T, Unefon, Virgin, Maz Tiempo, and Movistar to their customers.
Businesses on RedCloud’s open commerce platform can now meet the accelerating demand of consumers who want a faster and more personalized way to buy from their favourite stores, while enabling sellers to trade and pay in the new digital economy.
This move is certainly welcome, coming at a time when Central Bank of Mexico (Banxico)* is investing and building infrastructures so that “every Mexican can send and receive electronic payments regardless of their economic background or any other conditions.”
CEO of RedCloud, Justin Floyd said, “RedCloud’s mission is to economically empower the world’s small businesses by seamlessly connecting them to global and local consumer brands and be part of the open commerce revolution.

We are delighted to partner with Banorte bank and Monterrey Digital Hub to make commerce universally accessible.”
