Published

on

With a projected 44% growth in users over five years, Latin American digital commerce is being focused on by the Australian SaaS with a tailored strategy of payment solutions that include both cards and alternative payment methods

SYDNEY and CURITIBA, Brazil, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Canva, a global visual communication platform, has formed a partnership with EBANX, a global technology company specializing in payment services for emerging markets. The SaaS giant is aiming to grow in Latin America by providing local payment options for the customers. The payments strategy intends to increase digital inclusion in the region and includes local cards and alternative payment methods, such as Pix, the Brazilian instant payment phenomenon that is about to offer recurring features.

The partnership between Canva and EBANX is already live in six Latin American countries and comes at a pivotal time as the region undergoes a digital inclusion revolution. The number of digital commerce users in Latin America is expected to grow by 44% over the next five years, reaching 418.9 million people by 2029, according to data from Statista Digital Market Insights. In comparison, this growth in the U.S. is projected to be 22% over the same period.

The rising digital inclusion in Latin America highlights an attractive market for SaaS giants like Canva. The digital economy in the region is projected to surpass US$ 1 trillion within three years, based on Payments and Commerce Market Intelligence (PCMI) data analyzed by EBANX.

Latin America is one of Canva’s fastest-growing regions, and we’re committed to deepening our support for the diverse communities here by providing localised payment options. By partnering with EBANX, we’re making it easier for millions of people to access our platform using payment methods they trust and prefer. This tailored approach not only strengthens digital inclusion but also helps us foster a thriving creative community across the region,” said Felipe Godoy, Growth Marketing Manager at Canva LATAM.

While digital commerce in Latin America holds great promise, it also presents challenges due to its diverse payment methods. Canva has partnered with EBANX in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru to offer localized payment options in each country and deliver a tailored customer experience. These solutions include digital wallets, instant payments, as well as credit and debit cards, covering installments and cards from national brands.

As in other rising markets, in Latin America, cards hold a significant share of digital commerce. In Chile, 80% of digital commerce purchases are made with credit and debit cards, according to data from PCMI. Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina also show high percentages: 76%, 69%, 52% and 46%, respectively. And each market has a different customer behavior. In Peru and Mexico, for example, debit cards stand out with 49% and 38% market shares, in that order.

“At EBANX, we address the payment complexities of rising markets for our merchants, allowing them to focus on the opportunities these vibrant regions offer,” said Melissa Johnson, VP of Merchant Success at EBANX. “Canva excels in fostering innovation and digital inclusion worldwide, so we are thrilled that our partnership is providing the best experience to customers in Latin America.”

Canva customers in Brazil, for example, can use Pix to make their payment to the platform. As the fastest-growing instant payment method in Latin America, Pix is expected to surpass credit cards in digital commerce share in Brazil by next year. According to PCMI data, the alternative payment method will account for 44% of the transaction value in digital commerce, compared to 41% for credit cards by 2025.

“Pix plays a crucial role in the daily lives of Brazilians and simultaneously generates new revenue for merchants,” said Johnson. At EBANX, Pix is the preferred payment method for 95% of first-time customers on a website. The success case of the Brazilian instant payment method is about to gain another boost with the launch of Pix Automático (Automatic Pix in free translation), the recurring payment feature of Pix, in June 2025.

B2B payment experience

Pix is an important tool for the new frontier for fintechs in Latin America: B2B payments. Internal data from EBANX, shared in its annual report Beyond Borders, shows the most used payment method for transactions between companies in this region processed by the fintech is Pix, with a 43% share.

For companies in the SaaS sector, these transactions are expected to receive a boost with the new recurring feature, positioning Pix as one of the solutions reshaping the landscape of business transactions in Latin America.

While EBANX enables its merchants to access rising markets with tailor-made payment strategies, Canva has been enhancing design technology for companies. Canva’s business platform, Visual Suite, was launched two years ago, and the SaaS company has been investing in AI-powered tools tailored for this clientele.

By

The platform leverages AI to deliver real-time insights that will significantly reduce the time and effort needed to make informed clinical decisions.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — xCures, a pioneer in AI-driven healthcare data solutions, announced today its latest innovation: a next-generation AI-powered platform designed to fundamentally change healthcare data access and patient care. Revealed during Mika Newton’s (CEO) remarks at the HLTH 2024 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, the new platform introduces a suite of tools to empower healthcare providers with faster, more efficient access to clinical insights to improve the quality and content of patient care.

The cutting-edge platform produces specialty and encounter-specific checklists and natural language patient summaries, allowing healthcare professionals to gain immediate, actionable insights from vast amounts of patient data. Additionally, the platform features an innovative chat-based search functionality that enables users to engage with medical records as if in a conversation. This breakthrough will simplify the interrogation of complex health data and provide more efficient access to critical patient information. All of these capabilities retain source document linkages, giving certainty and the confidence needed to implement AI-powered solutions in the context of patient treatment.

“We are thrilled to introduce this next-generation platform that will significantly accelerate how healthcare providers access and utilize medical data,” said Mika Newton, CEO of xCures. “Our platform empowers providers to spend less time sifting through medical records and more time focusing on delivering high-quality care. This is a major step forward in making healthcare safer, faster, and more effective.”

The healthcare industry is often bogged down by inefficiencies in accessing and processing patient data. Providers traditionally spend hours manually extracting and organizing data from medical records, which can lead to delays in patient care. xCures’ new platform addresses these challenges head-on by offering a faster, more efficient method to analyze and utilize health data.

Organizations that implement the xCures platform will save valuable staff time, streamline operations, and increase revenue through improved efficiency, all while providing better, more timely care to patients.

“Our goal with this platform is not only to provide healthcare professionals with faster access to data but to also transform how they interact with it,” Newton added. “By incorporating natural language summaries and conversational search functionality, we’re making it easier for providers to get the precise information they need, exactly when they need it. This is about more than efficiency—it’s about fundamentally changing the relationship between providers and patient data.”

Since its inception in 2018, xCures has led the field of leveraging AI to extract and structure data from medical records. Their latest platform takes this capability to the next level, acting as an intelligent filter atop Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs). This platform is accessible for Treatment or through Individual Access Services (IAS) as defined under TEFCA. The same solution can be seamlessly integrated with existing organization-owned medical records. By organizing medical records into a structured, searchable database, xCures empowers healthcare providers with rapid access to crucial clinical insights, enhancing patient care and streamlining workflows.

By eliminating the need for manual data extraction, xCures helps providers offer safer and more accurate care. The faster providers can access accurate, actionable data, the quicker they can make informed decisions, improving patient outcomes and reducing administrative burdens.

About xCures
xCures Inc. operates an A.I.-assisted platform that can automatically retrieve medical records from any U.S. care site. The data is harmonized within 15 minutes to provide concise, contextual case summaries and dynamically assessed patient checklists.
