Klar is a Mexican fintech startup whose mission is to democratize and revolutionize the way in which financial services have been delivered so far in Mexico, especially since half of the population doesn't have a bank account. We offer a rich set of products across our debit and credit offers and the future is bright for Klar!</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>We have an exciting and ambitious roadmap to bring more features to our products so that we can better serve our users. We have served more than 7 million users since our launch in 2019 — and we're just getting started.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Most recently, we partnered with Uber to launch their first global credit card, right here in Mexico; a testament to the trust we've built with world-class partners and the strength of our infrastructure, team, and product.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>We are also proud to have been certified in 2023 as a \"<span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Great Place to Work</span>\" in Mexico — we've worked hard to make that happen and will continue to make bigger strides in the future!
