Coba allows workers in Mexico employed by international companies to earn USD and spend seamlessly in pesos. Coba offers all the benefits of the modern US financial system while providing convenient, real-time access to those funds in Mexico.
Thanks for hunting Coba, @mwseibel! Hi y’all - Eduardo here, co-founder and Head of Product @ Coba.
We started Coba with the vision of removing financial barriers between the US and Mexico (and beyond!). Today, Coba allows any individual living in Mexico to open a US deposit account and easily move and spend money, in dollars or pesos, in both countries.
We give our customers control over their finances by reducing the costs of foreign exchange, making transfers to Mexico faster and more efficient and more ways to spend with both US and Mexico card programs.
You can open your account today in less than 5 minutes! If you’re a Mexican losing money on forex and international commissions on your USD paychecks, Coba is for you. If you’re an American living in Mexico and struggling to access local banking to pay your rent/mortgage or even paying at a local store, Coba is your solution.
Coba builds its services with banks on both sides of the border, with our Bangor Savings Bank, our sponsor bank, in the US and BancoBASE in Mexico. This allows us to offer great services and products in both markets.
Shoot me a message with any questions - we love hearing from prospective and current customers!
@mwseibel@edolopez You're solving a massive problem. I have a lot of friends that left california and went to Cabo. Cant wait to see where this app goes
Hey @jaketital - interesting scenario. This is something we have discovered along the way; our infrastructure can support other demographics and use cases in this corridor.
I would love to hear more about their challenges as expats living in Cabo MX. Feel free to share my availability with your friends (https://app.reclaim.ai/m/edo/fle...) and I will prioritize these conversations. Thanks for the support!
Congratulations on the launch! This seems like a game-changer for freelancers and remote workers in Mexico. Does Coba plan to offer any special features or incentives for users who frequently travel between the US and Mexico?
Thanks for asking this, @kirill_markin! Of course. As part of our growing backlog, we are developing strategic partnerships that will allow us to offer special discounts and rewards for our active members, specifically when using their Coba Mexico Mastercard.
Did you have something specific in mind? Is there any use case that would be worth discussing and understanding? Thanks!
@jsteneros The answer is yes. Our vision is to tackle local pain points from people living in specific jurisdictions within Latin America — the opportunity is big and there are not many players focused on the local pain points from international workers across the region. Whether a digital nomad, expat, or local professional, Coba should be your option.
COBA it's a great app, there are many apps out there but mostly for Argentina, Colombia or Brasil, COBA come as a pioneer in Mexican market with a REAL US bank account, It's awesome how simple and easy the process is and i really know COBA will be growing up! Besides the app works very smooth and if you dont want to use or not have your cell phone you can just go the web page and its done!. Congrats COBA!
Thanks for your continued support, Ramon! We will continue building the best experience for people earning dollars and spending in Mexico. Your words are our fuel 💚
