Mexico’s financial technology sector is taking another step toward expanding access to credit through a new partnership between fintech leader Stori and Farmacias Similares, the nationwide pharmacy chain recognized by its popular mascot, Dr. Simi. The two companies have introduced the Dr. Simi Card by Stori, a co-branded credit card with no annual fee that is designed to make formal credit more accessible for millions of Mexicans. Unlike conventional banks that rely on physical branches, the partnership uses the pharmacy chain’s established presence across the country to connect customers with financial services. The program is intended to help families manage everyday expenses, including healthcare costs, through more affordable access to credit. This underserved market has become a major focus for financial technology companies seeking new ways to expand banking services beyond traditional institutions.
