Coba

Coba allows international knowledge workers in Mexico to deposit their USD paychecks in US accounts and spend in pesos. One account…two currencies.

Hola 👋 ! We are the team behind Coba.

🤔 The Problem

International knowledge workers earn in USD but live their day-to-day in Pesos. Moving money across borders is costly, complex and the existing banking infrastructure is slow. On average, a knowledge worker will lose $1,000 per year in hidden ForEx and transfer fees. In that process, their money will touch at least 3 different accounts adding time and steps along the way.

💡 The Solution

Coba is the app where users can:

• Access a single account to deposit their payroll, save in USD and send funds to Mexico.
• Transfer Mexican Pesos to local bank accounts in seconds without fees and at competitive FX rates.
• Receive a local credit card for daily expenses in Pesos that draws from their USD balance.

Earning and saving in USD… Living and spending in Pesos.

🇺🇸💸🇲🇽 How Do We Do It?

• Trust: Coba runs on existing, regulated banking infrastructure and tools
• Convenience: A single app for two currencies
• Efficiency: Proprietary payment rails mean more competitive FX rates and savings for our Users

🇺🇸💸🇲🇽 Why Us?

From the Near-shoring capital of Latin America, Monterrey, MX, we live a cross-border reality. Not only have we employed remote teams across LatAm in the businesses we have operated, but we are remote workers ourselves and know first-hand the costs and complexity of moving money from USD to Pesos.
