MercadoLibre is often referred to as the Amazon of Latin America and for good reason. The company operates an e-commerce marketplace that has a dominant presence in some of the most populous nations in the region, including Brazil and Argentina.
However, there’s a lot more to MercadoLibre. It operates a fast-growing payments platform called Mercado Pago, a logistics service called Mercado Envios, a business lending platform, and more. MercadoLibre isn’t just the Amazon of Latin America — it’s the Amazon, PayPal, Block, Shopify, and more of Latin America all rolled into one and at a much earlier stage of growth.
