RED DE PREPAGO DE MEXICO, S.A. DE C.V.

What RED DE PREPAGO DE MEXICO, S.A. DE C.V. does

Red de Prepago de México, S.A. de C.V. (DBA RPM) is a Mexican technology company headquartered in Torreón, Coahuila, that operates a proprietary transactional platform for the sale of electronic products and the collection of service payments. The company's operations trace back to 2003 through its strategic partnership with Grupo Soriana (formal corporate incorporation is dated 2007), and it serves a client base spanning national retail chains, regional retailers, pharmacies, convenience stores, and a long tail of small merchants across Mexico. Distribution is delivered through three primary surfaces: a flagship enterprise platform used by Soriana, the LA RED+ distribution network for SMBs and regional chains, and a POS software integration program covering 11+ providers including Microsip, Eleventa, Sicar, Dess México, and others.

The core Plataforma Transaccional RPM processes over 150,000 transactions per month and integrates with more than 50 service payment providers. Product delivery spans multiple channels: a Windows desktop application for high-volume merchants, a browser-based web portal, an Android mobile app (RPM POS), and a Web Service API for embedded POS integrations. Sub-brands include LA RED+ (single-balance distribution across all Mexican carrier airtime brands plus electronic PINs and 50+ service payments) and CLUBPAGO (cash bill payment collection at prestige chains plus SPEI bank transfers with unique CLABE identification per customer). Platform features include anti-fraud protection, real-time electronic invoicing, and branch/register/cashier-level reconciliation reporting.

Revenue is generated through transaction commission fees paid by merchants on airtime sales and service payments, supplemented by platform usage fees for businesses requiring transactional platform access. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; commission rates are adjustable when supplier commissions change. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds or institutional investors, consistent with a founder-controlled S.A. de C.V. structure. Geographic coverage is concentrated in Mexico, with commercial alliances extending the platform's use into Central and South America as of 2021.
