Franco Zurita (Peruvian, born ~1990) is a fintech entrepreneur and payments expert who founded Monnet Payment Solutions to solve the operational pain of refunds and cross‑border payouts for e‑commerce and iGaming companies in Latin America. After identifying a market gap while working at another company, he left his position and launched Monnet in 2022.
The platform processes both payouts (bank transfers, debit cards, local methods) and payins (card and alternative payments), handling an average of 67,000 transactions daily. By 2023, Monnet had processed $2.6 billion USD in volume and generated $23 million in revenue.
The company operates in eight LatAm markets (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Peru) and plans expansion into Brazil, Bolivia, and Central America. Zurita has been an active speaker at iGaming events such as ICE Barcelona 2026, SBC Summit Barcelona 2022, and Money20/20 Asia 2026, representing Monnet as a payments partner for the gaming industry. He was named an MIT Innovator Under 35 in 2024.
