Mexico City, January 22, 2019 – Albo, a Mexican financial technology company offering consumers a digital account with a prepaid Mastercard to receive, transfer, and spend their money, announced today it has raised $7.4 million in a Series A round of investment led by Mountain Nazca, and joined by the impact investment firm Omidyar Network, and Greyhound Capital.
