  in Mexico. Founded in 2012, Clip enables merchants of all sizes to accept card, contactless, and QR payments through a family
  of mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) terminals — Clip Plus 2, Clip Pro 2, Clip Ultra, Clip Total 3, and the high-volume Clip PinPad
  — as well as Tap to Pay on iOS/Android smartphones, an online Checkout payment gateway, payment links, and the Clip Cuenta
  digital business account with same-day settlement and SMB loans. Clip operates the developer portal developer.clip.mx, which
  publishes the Checkout Redirect, Checkout Transparente, Transactions, Deposits, Refunds, and PinPad APIs along with the
  Checkout Transparente SDK and a Terminal SDK for embedding card acceptance into third-party POS apps. The company is backed
  by strategic investors including American Express Ventures, Banorte, Capital Group, and Morgan Stanley, and is consistently
  ranked among Mexico's top private fintech employers.
