Universidad de la Libertad is an innovative private university in Mexico City, founded by Ricardo B. Salinas Pliego, head of Grupo Salinas. It treats entrepreneurship, innovation, and economics as a single curriculum—not electives around a conventional degree—and it has become one of the most important gathering places in Latin America for founders who want institutions that still believe in freedom.
That is why Network Bank keeps showing up on Constituyentes. The university’s campus in Lomas Altas is designed as a hub for builders: hyper-personalized programs, facilitators who still run companies, and a public calendar that regularly puts pitch stages and policy summits in the same building.
The Network Bank won second place at the FinTech World Cup Mexico Qualifiers, hosted at Universidad de la Libertad in Mexico City. In April 2025 the university served as main sponsor of the first Mexico edition of the global competition—an on-campus qualifier toward the Dubai finals, organized with the Dubai International Financial Centre and Mexican partners.
We pitched a licensed bank for frontier innovators: global virtual cards, customizable spending limits, and alternative banking services linked to self-custody digital funds. The same stack we run from Próspera—full-reserve accounts, internationally open rails, and a product that does not treat special-zone companies or digital-asset treasuries as edge cases. A reel from the Qualifiers captures the room.
Universidad de la Libertad’s own mission is close to ours. It was founded to form entrepreneurial leaders who will make Mexico—and the region—more prosperous, inclusive, and free. Undergraduate and specialization tracks concentrate on innovation, business, and market economics. The campus, designed with Rosan Bosch, is meant for collaboration rather than lecture-hall hierarchy. Official programs and admissions live on ulibertad.edu.mx; the Spanish overview is on Sobre nosotros.
The same campus hosts the annual Radical Innovation Summit, which Network Bank attended in 2024, 2025, and 2026—alongside the Próspera team. That continuity matters. A bank for startup cities and free societies should be in the rooms where Latin America’s liberty-and-innovation network actually meets.
Mexico’s fintech scene does not need another app that stops at the border. It needs regulated infrastructure that can issue cards, set limits, and settle against funds the customer actually controls. That is the bank we are building—and the story we told on the Universidad de la Libertad stage.
