A new window into LATAM — are you seeing it?
Two positive developments landing at the same time:
•① Uruguay visa-free for Chinese citizens — one more easy entry point in South America. No more two-week visa waits for trade shows and client visits.
•② LATAM cross-border payments unblocked — XTransfer partners with BBVA to tackle the region’s biggest pain points: hard-to-open accounts, slow settlements, and fragmented compliance. For SMEs, a clear payment path matters more than anything.
LATAM imports from China grew significantly in Q1. Demand is rising, and barriers are falling. This window deserves attention.
That said, LATAM isn’t a gold rush — tariff gaps between countries, strict compliance, and currency volatility are real. Choose your entry point carefully and do your homework to actually capture the upside.
