SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PayJoy, a leading financial services provider for underserved consumers across emerging markets, today announced the acquisition of select strategic assets of Finia AI, Inc., a fintech company that developed AI-powered underwriting and financial products for micro-businesses in Mexico.

PayJoy’s global reach creates an opportunity to scale our technology and everything we’ve learned alongside one of the strongest teams in fintech. We share a commitment to improving customers’ financial well-being, and this transaction opens a new chapter in that work.”

We see a meaningful opportunity to extend the impact of Finia’s work across the markets we serve.”
