Rappi and R2's "Préstamos para ti": Empowering Mexican Restaurants
In 2023, Rappi, a leading delivery platform in Mexico, launched "Préstamos para ti" (Loans for You), an innovative embedded lending solution provided by R2.
"Préstamos para ti" provides needed capital to Aliados, Rappi-partnered restaurants, directly through the Rappi app, fueling their growth and expansion.
The impact of "Préstamos para ti" has been substantial and has exceeded our expectations. The program has disbursed over 2,300 loans totaling in millions of pesos across more than 200 municipalities in Mexico, significantly boosting the country's restaurant sector.
Restaurants have invested this capital for different purposes, helping them thrive in today’s challenging economy: from marketing and customer acquisition to inventory and supplies acquisition, equipment renewals, facility upgrades and business expansion. In addition, many Aliados emphasize that the payment method is quite convenient, since a percentage is automatically deducted from their sales generated on Rappi.
Looking ahead, Rappi and R2 remain dedicated to empowering Mexican restaurants. Through "Préstamos para ti," the two companies expect to disburse over 4,000 loans in the next year, further propelling the industry’s growth.
