Adolfo Babatz looked for a way for more businesses in Mexico to accept
Bank cards. With help Vilash Poolava, he developed the Clip prototype. Babatz resigned from PayPal in 2013 to dedicate himself to Clip, a company that in the first years grew by 800%.

Clip converts any smartphone into a banking terminal. This product solves a problem in Mexico, where a large percentage of the population is not banked but does have a cell phone. Also, the customers of the shops can pay in installments and with any card, regardless of the issuing bank. Thanks to the ease of accepting cards, businesses can increase their sales by up to 30%.
