Payout and payment preferences
(in local currency)
Cash remains a significant payment method in Mexico—we provide tailored solutions to accommodate this. Cash pickup services as payouts allow customers to send payments with near-instant delivery and withdraw funds from central Mexican banks, including Banco Azteca.
Our payout service lets you make payments in local currency, MXN, so Mexican customers can avoid foreign transaction fees and other associated costs. Along with pesos, USD, and other major currencies, MassPay supports payments in 70+ global currencies—including Alternative Payment Methods.
Optimized payment processing
With capabilities that support leading payment and payout options, Mexican customers can easily make payments and receive funds. Streamlined payment processing helps you optimize your customer experience by reducing checkout times and transaction errors.
Optimized payment processing also eliminates the need for manual reconciliation processes, further streamlining your payment operations in Mexico.
Payouts
When merchants send payouts to their customers, they need to make sure they use the optimal method for their market. Accounting for Mexico's cash-based economy, you have quick payout options that use local payment methods.
Secure and reliable technology
Many Mexicans have concerns surrounding the security of online payments and sharing their banking information. In a 2022 study, 42.4% of Mexican online users reported feeling doubtful about how companies used their data, and 53.6% were concerned about distinguishing what was real or fake on the internet.
To address this, MassPay utilizes industry-leading encryption and authentication protocols to ensure the secure transfer of payments and payouts. Our security measures give your Mexican customers extra assurance as they make digital transactions with you.

Cash and cash pickup services
Cash remains king when it comes to payment methods in Mexico. With a network of affiliated banks and money transfer services, merchants can use fast and secure cash pickup services as payouts, helping them reach their customers regardless of where they're located.
Credit and debit cards
Credit/debit card payments are also popular in Mexico, and MassPay supports leading cards, including MercadoPago and Oxxo Pay. With ultra-secure technology, customers can pay with their credit/debit card in a single click.
Alternative payment methods
Beyond cash and credit/debit cards, you’ll have support for alternative payment methods such as bank transfers, prepaid cards, e-wallets, and more. We make it easy for Mexican customers to choose their preferred payment method and optimize the checkout process.
Cross-border payments and remittances
Another crucial component of Mexico's financial ecosystem is cross-border payments and remittances. In fact, as of 2023, Mexico now receives more remittances than China (valuing about around $60bn in 2022).
Many Mexican citizens who work in the US send money back home. However, one challenge associated with cross-border payments is lower authorization rates if domestic cards aren’t enabled for international transactions.
