indigenous regions in Mexico. One example is the cooperative association in Puebla, which operates its own, jointly organized telephone and internet provider, \"Wiki Katat\". The aim is to create an economy of solidarity that is not based on profit, but on community organization and self-administration. Users are referred to as \"brothers\" and \"sisters\", not customers. The project was financed by jointly raised seed capital and is managed independently<a href=\"https:\/\/amerika21.de\/analyse\/267329\/kommunitaere-telekommunikation-mexiko\">^1<\/a>.<\/p><\/li><li><p>International cooperation also promotes community-financed projects: The Mexico-Germany Joint Fund supports government, civil society and private sector projects in areas such as human rights, social inclusion and democratic governance. These projects are financed on a parity basis and supported by experts<a href=\"https:\/\/www.giz.de\/de\/weltweit\/40777.html\">^2<\/a>.<\/p><\/li><li><p>Various social projects, for example in reconstruction after natural disasters or in village development, are jointly supported and implemented through donations and membership fees, as the example of \"El Retiro\" in Chiapas shows<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deutschmexikanisch.de\/sozialprojekte\">^3<\/a>.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2>Digital wallets and alternative payment systems<\/h2><ul data-tight=\"true\"><li><p><strong>Digital wallets<\/strong> have experienced a strong upswing in Mexico in recent years. The number of transactions with digital wallets increased by 400 % between 2019 and 2022.

The advantages are lower transaction costs and high security standards, such as biometric authentication. The use of digital wallets is being further accelerated by the increasing spread of QR code payments and mobile devices<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mordorintelligence.com\/industry-reports\/mexico-digital-wallet-market\">^4<\/a>.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Important providers<\/strong> include MercadoPago, OXXO Pay, BBVA Wallet and various fintech companies that offer solutions for retail, e-commerce and services.

However, interest in cryptocurrencies is growing significantly: according to recent studies, around one in four Mexicans value cryptocurrencies as an alternative to traditional banking.
