Cashea, one of the leading BNPL services in the country, has garnered more than 1.2 million users in just over a year in Venezuela, as of December 2023.

Notably, more than 95% of its total user base falls under this category. Going forward, the firm is planning to expand its presence in two more Latin American nations, targeting a higher growth rate over the next three to four years.
