The Socios46 network · Mexico

The payment point network we built ourselves

Socios46 turns local merchants and individuals into points where people pay in cash. It's Pago46's proprietary network — we open it where it's needed, not where a bank already is.

What is a Socio46?

A shop, a pharmacy, a kiosk or a person who chooses to operate as a Pago46 point. They top up a balance from their bank and, with it, collect orders people pay in cash and pay their own — all from the Socios46 app.

Signs up from the app

Open the Socios46 app, register the point and verify identity. The whole process is digital.

Works with their own balance

They top up with a bank transfer. When someone pays them an order in cash, they confirm it with their balance and keep the cash.

Earns on every operation

Every collection served earns the Socio46, without changing what their business does.

It stays their business

Being a Socio46 doesn't replace what they already sell: it adds a service that brings people into the shop.

For merchants and individuals

    Every collection you serve adds to what you already sell.

For businesses

Why does it matter that the network is ours?

Most cash payment providers resell someone else's network. We run our own alongside the bank and retail networks we already integrate — so your coverage doesn't depend on another company's priorities.

Coverage where you ask for it

We open points in the areas your operation needs, without waiting for a retail chain to prioritise it.

Unbanked reach

Communities where a bank account isn't the starting point, served in cash.

One contract

Socios46 and the traditional networks arrive through the same API and settle on the same ledger.

Control of the experience

The app, the operating rules and the point's support are ours — we don't inherit a third party's.
