RTGS.global and Bamboo Partner to Revolutionize Cross-Border Payments in Latin America

Quick Summary

RTGS.global and Bamboo have partnered to streamline cross-border payment capabilities across Latin America. By integrating RTGS.global’s real-time settlement infrastructure with Bamboo’s local payment network, the collaboration enables financial institutions and iGaming operators to bypass slow correspondent banking, ensuring faster, more efficient fund movements across seven key regional markets.

How Does the Partnership Improve Cross-Border Payment Capabilities?

The collaboration addresses the fragmented payment infrastructure that has historically hindered business expansion in Latin America. By combining RTGS.global’s SaaS platform with Bamboo’s connectivity to over 600 financial institutions, the partnership provides a unified route for real-time settlement and liquidity management. This is particularly vital as regional daily FX turnover has surged to $330 billion, demanding more sophisticated treasury tools.

• Direct access to local payment rails in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, and Mexico.
• Elimination of reliance on slow correspondent networks through a single API integration.
• Support for over 200 payment methods to facilitate seamless payins and payouts.

Why is iGaming the Primary Focus for This Integration?

The rapidly growing iGaming sector in Latin America requires high-velocity transactions to maintain player engagement. Operators face complex currency management and strict regulatory requirements that traditional banking often fails to meet. This partnership allows for instantaneous settlement (T+0), which is a critical differentiator for operators providing fast deposits and withdrawals in a competitive market.

"Latin America represents one of the most exciting growth opportunities for the global iGaming industry, but operators continue to face significant challenges when moving money efficiently across borders," said Felipe Hillard, Chief Commerical Officer at RTGS.global. "Market expectations around deposits and withdrawals have never been higher, while operators are managing increasingly complex payment and treasury requirements across multiple markets. By partnering with Bamboo, we're helping create a more connected payments ecosystem that enables faster settlement, improved liquidity management and more efficient access to local payment infrastructure throughout the region."

What Results Can Financial Institutions Expect?

Financial institutions and payment providers can now offer enhanced operational efficiency to their corporate clients. The integration reduces friction in cross-border payment capabilities by providing transparent, scalable infrastructure. Beyond iGaming, the solution supports high-growth digital industries including e-commerce and financial services, which are currently seeing massive investment across the LATAM region.

"Latin America continues to see strong investment and growth across digital industries, increasing demand for payment infrastructure that is efficient, reliable and connected to local markets," said Greg Cornwell, Chief Revenue Officer at Bamboo. "Through our partnership with RTGS.global, we are combining deep local expertise with innovative cross-border settlement capabilities to help financial institutions, payment providers and regulated businesses move funds more efficiently across the region."

FF NEWS TAKE:

This partnership definitely moves the needle for LATAM’s financial ecosystem. By tackling the friction in cross-border payment capabilities, RTGS.global and Bamboo are solving a specific, high-pain problem for the iGaming and e-commerce sectors. Moving away from legacy correspondent banking toward real-time, API-driven settlement is no longer a luxury - it is a prerequisite for regional growth. This is a significant win for market liquidity and digital adoption.
