DOHA, State of Qatar & MEXICO CITY, Mexico – April 15, 2026 – Q Prime Holding, a premier publicly listed investment entity on the Qatar Stock Exchange, has officially announced its strategic participation in the $405 million Series C financing round of Plata, a technology-led digital banking platform operating at significant scale across Latin America. The transaction, which values Plata at $5 billion according to the supplied release, marks a further step in Q Prime Holding's mandate to partner with scalable, technology-enabled financial services businesses in high-growth international markets.

Redefining Digital Banking Through Proprietary Technology

Plata has built a digital banking platform distinguished by its proprietary technology infrastructure and AI-powered risk technology, enabling it to deliver financial services to more than 3.5 million active customers while generating reported annualized revenue in excess of $600 million. The platform's architecture is engineered to support rapid customer acquisition without compromising the integrity of its credit and risk controls.

The company's technology infrastructure reflects a deliberate investment in proprietary systems rather than reliance on third-party assembly, positioning Plata to maintain operational control across the full customer journey — from onboarding and underwriting to ongoing portfolio management. This integrated approach underpins the platform's reported capacity to scale across multiple Latin American markets while preserving regulatory discipline.

Strategic Alignment and Financial Inclusion

The investment is consistent with Q Prime Holding's stated strategy of supporting scalable, technology-enabled financial services businesses that expand access to credit and digital-first service delivery in emerging markets. Latin America represents one of the world's most significant opportunities for digital financial inclusion, where large under-served populations and accelerating digital adoption converge.

By participating in Plata's Series C round, Q Prime Holding strengthens its exposure to a region in which digital banking infrastructure is increasingly central to economic participation. The transaction reinforces the firm's long-term orientation toward partnerships with platforms that combine proprietary technology, regulatory credibility and demonstrable operating scale.
