Digitt is a fintech company that helps individuals in Mexico manage and refinance their credit card debt, specifically focusing on prime and near-prime customers. Digitt offers personalized solutions with fair interest rates and no hidden fees, making financial recovery more accessible and transparent for users.

Digitt is here to provide a fair and transparent option for people with a proven willingness and ability to pay, currently paying higher interest rates than what they deserve. We’re not just another financial service; we’re a partner for those looking to rebuild their financial lives.

David Garcia, Co Founder of Digitt

David explained to VC Mx that the company’s mission stems from a simple idea: to challenge how financial institutions operate in Mexico.

“Banks have been taking advantage of customers with hidden fees and predatory rates for years. We knew there had to be a better way, and that’s why we built Digitt.”

Digitt’s Inception Story

David’s personal experience managing credit card debt was the catalyst for the idea behind Digitt. Despite having a high credit score, an impeccable payment history, and consistently making the minimum monthly payments, he was burdened with a staggering 70% interest rate. This frustration grew as he searched for fair and transparent financial solutions while launching his first startup, ultimately inspiring him to create Digitt, a platform that could provide the financial clarity and support he wished he had.

I remember sitting down, looking at my credit card statements, and realizing how unfair the system was. That’s when I decided we needed to create something that gave people a real chance to improve their finances.

David Garcia

In the early days of building Digitt, David García and his co-founder, Manuel, dedicated countless hours to customer research. They personally met with their first 82 users to gain a deep understanding of their challenges.

Listening to people’s stories gave us a clear sense of what they needed. It wasn’t just about refinancing debt; it was about rebuilding trust with financial services in Mexico.

Digitt’s: Growth Drivers & Roadmap in 2025

Digitt’s growth trajectory has been fueled by customer-focused innovations, data-driven marketing, and strong community-building efforts. Since launching, the company has achieved key milestones, such as maintaining a low 1.4% loss rate in debt refinancing and achieving an impressive Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 92—testaments to the quality of their services and the trust they’ve built among users.

“Our growth isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the trust we’ve earned from our customers. Every referral, every positive review, and every repeat user tells us we’re on the right path.” - David García

A key part of Digitt’s growth strategy has been leveraging digital channels like TikTok to reach a broader audience. The company’s engaging financial education content has garnered hundreds of millions of organic views, creating a strong brand presence and generating high-quality leads.

Digitt plans to double down on this approach by exploring new platforms and experimenting with content formats to sustain and scale its audience reach.

Social media has been a game changer for us. We’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible. Our next step is to refine our approach, expand to more platforms, and keep educating people in ways that resonate. Digitt is rapidly becoming the leader in personal finance content in Spanish.

Digitt: Path to becoming a Leader in Consumer Fintech in Mexico

Digitt plans to expand its services and product offerings, focusing on adapting to local needs while maintaining the transparency and trust that define its brand. With debt refinancing as its strategic entry point, the company is uniquely positioned to become the primary financial institution for prime and near-prime customers in Mexico.

Digitt’s priority is to first establish itself as a leading consumer fintech in Mexico before considering expansion into other parts of Latin America.

We’ve learned that financial struggles are not unique to Mexico. Latin America is full of people who face the same issues with debt and unfair banking practices. Expanding regionally is a natural step for us.

Continuing to Serve: Young Professionals

Digitt primarily serves young professionals, typically in their 30s, who hold formal employment. To better reach this segment, the company has partnered with large enterprises to offer Digitt as a corporate benefit. By embedding its services within employee benefits programs and exploring integration with student financial aid systems, Digitt aims to provide accessible financial solutions directly to those who need them most. “We want to meet people where they are. Whether it’s through their workplace or their school, we’re finding ways to bring Digitt closer to their lives,” David explains.

In the long term, Digitt is planning to roll out new features and products aimed at helping users not only manage debt but also build financial resilience. These include savings tools, financial coaching, and credit-building programs.

“Our vision goes beyond debt management. We want to help people achieve financial independence and stability. That’s the future we’re working toward,” says David.

David emphasizes that the company’s growth will continue to be rooted in customer trust and feedback. “As we expand, we’ll stay true to our core values. Listening to our customers and solving real problems will always guide us.”

Challenges and Misconceptions

One of the biggest hurdles Digitt faced was earning customer trust in a market dominated by banks.

“Many people asked, ‘Why should we trust you? This seems too good to be true.’ That question stayed with us, and it drove us to be as transparent as possible. We knew trust would be earned, not given.” - David García

Digitt learned that developing proprietary, differentiated, and efficient distribution channels was crucial. In credit products, customer acquisition isn’t just about growth, it’s the first step in effective risk management.

The team also underestimated the role of marketing, initially believing that a great product would sell itself.

We quickly realized that building the best product wasn’t enough. We had to find ways to get in front of the right people and help them understand why Digitt was different.

David Garcia

Another major challenge was navigating Mexico’s limited capital markets, where early-stage fintechs often struggle to secure debt financing from traditional financial institutions.

“It was tough to prove that a small fintech could compete with established banks. But we believed in our approach and stuck to it,” David reflects.

Digitt’s perseverance paid off, attracting significant interest from private credit investors, securing nine term sheets, and closing a $50M credit facility.

Market Opportunity

Mexico’s unsecured consumer credit market presents a massive opportunity, with nearly $70B USD issued by the top 10 banks alone. The sector has experienced sustained double-digit growth year over year for the past decade, with major players like BBVA expanding their loan book by 18% in the last year.

Moreover, 58% of Latin Americans possess a credit card, but only 30% have access to other forms of credit, indicating a significant gap in financial inclusion. This scenario presents a substantial market opportunity for Digitt to offer transparent and fair financial solutions to individuals seeking to manage and refinance their credit card debt.
