Our story

From licensed content in Latin America to AI-native products and global payments: the milestones that shaped Opratel.

Five hands holding phones from 2008 to today, from a keypad phone to a modern smartphone.
  1. The beginning

    Founded by Alberto Herz in Buenos Aires as a mobile VAS company monetizing licensed content across Latin America, with partners such as BBC, FOX and Turner.

  2. The pivot

    We shifted from licensing content to building our own digital products, and launched Claro Mujer, whitelabeled across LatAm.

  3. Esports & gaming

    We launched our esports and gaming vertical, a mobile-first platform for competitive gaming across LatAm. It quickly became Opratel’s top revenue-generating service.

  4. Master aggregation

    We became master aggregator for a leading LatAm carrier and built its entire VAS ecosystem from scratch. We also created our in-house performance marketing agency.

  5. New frontiers

    We started processing credit cards and alternative payment methods (APMs), and expanded master aggregation to new LatAm markets.

  6. The AI era

    AI-native product development took off across multiple verticals, with rapid go-to-market. We launched in the USA and Europe with card and APM processing, and payments became a major revenue driver for the group.

  7. The future

    One platform

    Unifying carrier billing (DCB) and card payments in one platform: global monetization with any payment method, in any market.

Our mission

We monetize digital content by combining technology, creativity and strategic partnerships.

Through payment solutions, DCB integrations and rapid product creation, we help our clients turn ideas into revenue — with agility, scalability and a global vision.
