One of the flourishing banks and a brand-new participant entering the area of neobanks in the Colombian market, Lulo Bank was established by Jaime Gilinski, a Colombian businessperson with over 45 years of banking experience in Latin America, Europe, and North America.

Noting the strategic acquisition, Syed Basar Shueb, CEO and Managing Director of IHC said that the fintech ecosystem in Latin America has mounted swiftly over the past couple of years with sustained growth experiential in all segments and in the number of active fintech businesses, particularly digital banking which has observed the most considerable development at an average annual rate of 57% between 2017 and 2021 to attain 60%.

In terms of financial inclusion with the increase in access to financial products, Colombia has made considerable progress which rose to 87%, stated Sheub.

It is significant for IHC to align any transaction with their growth strategies, whether to acquire new capabilities or consolidate, and Lulo Colombia is positioned very well with their expansion plans in Latin America, Sheub added.

Lulo Bank is Colombia’s first digitalized bank that has authorized over 120,000 active users since it was unveiled in June and is set to complete more than 200,000 users’ applications by year-end. The bank intends to accomplish a customer base of one million in Colombia within the next three years.

Chairman Benjamin Gilinski said that Digital banking has sustained a long way in Colombia. Implementation of new behaviors and modern technologies takes time, but it is by now significantly changed how consumers interact with financial products in the market.

Gilinski noted that the financial businesses that prevail in the forthcoming years will be those that realize that human behavior is constantly transforming and keep on investing in modern technologies. The company is delighted to have IHC join its mission of revolutionizing the financial landscape in Latin America.

Earlier in the year, Lulo received the esteemed iF Design Award 2022, a global design award in the interfaces for Digital Media category.
