What is Fintoc?
Filling in the operational gaps a Latam payments API needs to graduate from PSP to treasury platform.
Fintoc is in steady operational-buildout mode: monthly PDF statements, downloadable transfer receipts, programmable min/max amount rejection rules, a saved-recipients book, and CLABE lifecycle management for Mexico (a critical bit since CLABE quotas are scarce). The bigger checkout move — adding card payments alongside bank transfers in Chile, plus Apple Pay — landed just before this window and is now being polished.
What is GOAT.tax?
GOAT.tax calculates the federal R&D credit for whole controlled groups.
GOAT.tax's October 28 release adds Controlled Groups: set up related companies as one group, enter gross receipts, calculate the federal R&D credit at group level and produce group Web and PDF deliverables, with partner portal access. It builds on the Controlled Group data model, multi-company support and October's Form 6765 Section G reporting.

Fintoc
1.7FINANCE
Filling in the operational gaps a Latam payments API needs to graduate from PSP to treasury platform.
◆ Current state
Fintoc is in steady operational-buildout mode: monthly PDF statements, downloadable transfer receipts, programmable min/max amount rejection rules, a saved-recipients book, and CLABE lifecycle management for Mexico (a critical bit since CLABE quotas are scarce). The bigger checkout move — adding card payments alongside bank transfers in Chile, plus Apple Pay — landed just before this window and is now being polished.
◆ Where it's heading
The roadmap is widening from payment initiation toward full treasury infrastructure. Recipient management, statements, and CLABE garbage collection are all the kind of features customers ask for once they are actually running their corporate flows on the platform — Fintoc is responding to that pull rather than chasing a strategic pivot. Mexico-specific releases are landing more often, suggesting that market is ramping faster than Chile.
◆ Prediction
Expect Apple Pay to extend to Mexico next, deeper conciliation and reconciliation tooling for the Treasury cluster, and new endpoints around partial CLABE pools that ease quota pressure for high-volume Mexican customers.
GOAT.tax
5.0FINANCE
GOAT.tax calculates the federal R&D credit for whole controlled groups.
◆ Current state
GOAT.tax's October 28 release adds Controlled Groups: set up related companies as one group, enter gross receipts, calculate the federal R&D credit at group level and produce group Web and PDF deliverables, with partner portal access. It builds on the Controlled Group data model, multi-company support and October's Form 6765 Section G reporting.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving from single-company studies to group and partner workflows that larger filers and advisory firms need. Recent releases each add one piece of that structure.
◆ Prediction
Expect state credit calculations at controlled-group level next, since the release covers federal credits only.
