Capability Assessment of Strategic Fintech Integrators

Client Background
A European payment solutions provider preparing to expand its API-driven product suite into Latin America. With ambitions to scale through embedded finance models, the client required integration partners with strong developer ecosystems, proven compliance maturity, and established reach across financial institutions and fintech platforms.
Client’s Challenge
The client needed strategic partners capable of supporting technical integration, regulatory alignment, and multi-country distribution. While the client had strong in-house technical expertise, it lacked regional context, sourcing bandwidth, and on-the-ground visibility into the credibility and execution capability of potential fintech collaborators. A structured partner evaluation was required to ensure compatibility, reduce partnership risk, and accelerate expansion planning.
How Mordor Intelligence Helped
- Identified Potential Partners: Screened more than twenty fintech integrators based on platform compatibility, regional footprint, developer tooling maturity, and licensing credentials.
- Conducted Direct Outreach: Engaged shortlisted firms through interviews and reference checks to assess integration capability, partnership responsiveness, and track record.
- Validated Through Local Experts: Collaborated with Latin American fintech analysts and compliance specialists to verify regulatory alignment, operational reliability, and deployment history.
- Created Fit-Scoring Frameworks: Developed scoring sheets that evaluated technological fit, legal structure, compliance posture, market access, and client testimonials.
Impact Created
- Accelerated Market Entry: The client moved from preliminary exploration to partner shortlist in a fraction of the expected time, supported by clear intelligence on technical integration readiness, licensing coverage, and on-the-ground execution capabilities.
- Strengthened Risk Management: Two seemingly strong candidates were deprioritized after deeper validation uncovered compliance gaps and unresolved legal issues, preventing potential delays, penalties, or reputational setbacks.
- Higher Confidence in Partner Negotiations: Cultural, regulatory, and operating-model insights equipped the client’s alliances and product teams to engage shortlisted partners with better expectations, clearer due-diligence questions, and a more structured negotiation approach.
- Improved Alignment Between Product and Market Needs: The assessment highlighted where certain integrators’ technical strengths aligned more closely with the client’s API roadmap, helping internal teams refine their piloting strategy and prioritize co-development opportunities.
