Everything you wanted to know about blackberries (and now you can ask)

We programmed a chatbot that answers questions about overdue payments, credit and rates with data from the Central Bank. The same ones that were used this week to open a debate on X. The post Everything you wanted to know about overdue payments (and now you can ask) appeared first on Buenos Aires Herald.

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

A post on social media platform X by Matías Fernández, founder of consultancy Pública, claimed that Mercado Pago, a company created by Marcos Galperín, was doing an "ambitious exercise in financial inclusion" with "excessive care for risk". Fernández's post, which garnered over 2 million views, used data from the Central Bank's Debtors Database and tax authority ARCA.

However, it was noted that Fernández's consultancy works with Mercado Pago, raising questions about potential bias. The debate sparked a discussion about debt and credit in Argentina, with President Javier Milei and Galperín sharing Fernández's post and praising its analysis.
