Sttega

What Sttega does

Sttega (legally Sttega Digital S.A.P.I. de C.V.) is a Mexico-based digital credit platform founded in 2022 that designs tailored financing products for small and medium-sized enterprises using AI-powered analysis of their operational transactional activity and cash flows. The company is built around a core integration with STP (Sistema de Transferencias y Pagos), through which businesses share their account data to receive personalized credit offers in minutes, eliminating traditional documentation requirements. Sttega's product portfolio comprises Crédito Simple, a medium-term working capital facility of up to $20 million pesos over 6–24 months, and Crédito de Liquidez, a short-term revolving credit line of up to $12 million pesos over 1–30 days, both priced per customer based on projected cash flow behavior rather than standardized risk tiers.

The company monetizes primarily through interest income on originated credit, operating a fully self-serve, product-led distribution model accessible exclusively through its web platform in Mexico. It employs 7 people, is headquartered in the Hipódromo Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City, and holds minor alliances with VARIV Capital, Intelligential, and ZARAPE alongside its core STP partnership. An upcoming Plataforma de Pagos y Cobranza is announced as Próximamente, signaling a planned extension into payments and collections that would feed additional transactional data into Sttega's credit engine. Sttega explicitly disclaims being a regulated financial entity in Mexico and operates under a private investment company legal structure (S.A.P.I. de C.V.) with no disclosed funding rounds, investors, or revenue figures.
