Great idea. I see the same problem in Dominican Republic where interest rates are crazy high and people don’t have credit card.

Love the name by the way. Como vas a pagar? A trato :)

Thanks! It is a historical regional problem and we've seen that installments in the region are pretty popular.

The name comesfrom the Atrato River, which is a river that connects central america with south america and provides a safe way for travelers while passing through the rough and dangerous terrain of the Darien Gap. And yeah, also means that you pay "on deal" :)
