The financial landscape in Latin America (LATAM) is undergoing a transformation. From Colombia to Chile, banks and fintechs are racing to meet customer demands for faster, safer digital experiences. At the same time, regulators are tightening their grip on compliance, while cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated than ever.
For financial institutions in LATAM, this isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about staying ahead. Mobile security has become the backbone of trust, resilience, and long-term growth. But here’s the challenge: how do you achieve world-class protection without breaking the bank or slowing down innovation?
That’s where Dove Runner’s app security technology steps in.
The LATAM Financial Threat Landscape
Digital banking is now mainstream in LATAM. Over 70% of financial transactions in the region happen through mobile-first platforms. But with opportunity comes risk.
Cyberattacks are escalating:
Fraud schemes like mobile malware, app repackaging, and overlay attacks are on the rise.
Regulators are demanding more:
From Brazil’s LGPD to Mexico’s Fintech Law, compliance frameworks are stricter than ever.
Consumer trust is fragile:
A single breach can lead to years of reputational damage.
Here’s a snapshot of regulatory pressure across key LATAM markets:
| Country | Regulator | Key Mandates |
| Colombia | Superintendencia Financiera | Data protection, cybersecurity |
| Brazil | Banco Central + LGPD | Secure authentication, privacy, resilience |
| Mexico | CNBV + Fintech Law | API security, fraud detection |
| Argentina | BCRA + Habeas Data | Transaction integrity, privacy |
| Peru | SBS + Data Protection Law | KYC, anti-fraud, operational risk |
| Chile | CMF + Data Protection Law | Incident response, SDLC compliance |
For financial institutions in LATAM, these aren’t optional checkboxes—they’re survival essentials.
Why Traditional Security Falls Short
Many banks and fintechs still rely on traditional SDK-based security approaches. But these come with heavy baggage:
- High integration costs that eat into budgets
- Limited visibility into real-time threats
- Delayed releases, as protections need rework with every update
- Poor user experiences when security measures slow down apps
In a fast-moving LATAM market, these roadblocks are more than frustrating—they’re dangerous.
