Druo Doubles Processed Volume and Targets Global Expansion by 2026

The fintech company Druo closed 2025 with $223 million processed (approximately $850 billion), representing a 115% growth compared to 2024 and, in practice, more than double the volume in a single year.

This performance not only demonstrates the fintech company’s expansion, but also a broader market trend: companies are prioritizing better, faster, and less operational collections in an environment where financial efficiency has become a competitive advantage

Simón Pinilla, co-founder of Druo, explained that this change raised the standard by which payment solutions are now evaluated. “The market is no longer just talking about digitization. What really matters is how much it costs to collect payments, how long it takes to reconcile them, and how reliable the operation is both on normal days and during peak demand.”

From a business perspective, Pinilla added, the experience is clear: “Friction is not perceived as a technological problem, but as additional working hours, resources that remain immobilized while accounts are reconciled, and margins that are reduced without it being obvious.”

During 2025, Druo operated in four markets: Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the United States, strengthening its international presence. Growth remained strong, accompanied by a natural evolution of the business: as the operational base expands, the focus shifts toward stability, scalability, and collection quality.

In this process, Druo reached a key milestone: since May 2025, it has recorded monthly profitability in terms of cash flow. In an industry where growth has historically been prioritized over consolidating the financial structure, this achievement demonstrates the ability to sustain growth with operational discipline.

“A positive cash flow isn’t a trophy, it’s a sign of strength. It allows you to decide where to invest and how to grow, without operating at the limit,” Pinilla , Druo’s CEO, pointed out.

This progress is occurring in parallel with the acceleration of the payments system in Colombia and other markets. The Central Bank of Colombia highlighted in its 2025 Financial Infrastructure and Payment Instruments Report the growth of ACH (Automatic Cash Transfer) and the dynamism of instant transfers, trends that are redefining the payment experience in the region.

Looking ahead to 2026, the company anticipates that maintaining that monthly profitability will no longer be the core of its strategy. DRUO projects processing $520 million (approximately $2 billion), growing by more than 130% in volume, and exceeding 200 clients.

This plan will be supported by investment to accelerate expansion, following a funding round led by Global Paytech Ventures, the fund of Javier Pérez, former president of Mastercard Europe.
As part of its strategy, the Fintech company Druo plans to begin operations in the European Union during the second quarter of 2026, in addition to preparing its expansion into Brazil and Chile. “To execute this internationalization strategy, we estimate an investment of approximately $2 billion,” explained Pinilla.
