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.
Kill Bill keeps hardening invoice reliability on its mature 0.24 line
Kill Bill is in steady maintenance on the 0.24.x branch. Recent releases concentrate on invoice-failure handling — retries, account parking, and uniform WARN logging — plus catalog and subscription edge-case fixes. This is reliability work on a mature open-source billing core.
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.
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.
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.
Kill Bill is in steady maintenance on the 0.24.x branch. Recent releases concentrate on invoice-failure handling — retries, account parking, and uniform WARN logging — plus catalog and subscription edge-case fixes. This is reliability work on a mature open-source billing core.
The arc is operational robustness rather than new features: making invoice processing fail predictably, tightening lock-failure retries, and improving observability. A platform whose users run it as critical billing infrastructure rewards exactly this.
Expect continued 0.24.x point releases focused on invoicing/catalog correctness and logging, with no major architectural shift in the near term.
