Financial Education.
- For everybody-
We promote financial education through adaptive learning courses with personalized content for each user.
About us
EPLAR is a social enterprise that aims to actively promote and seek financial education in Mexico. We believe that financial education should be for everyone, regardless of social status or age.
EPLAR was founded by a group of young Latin Americans with a strong social commitment who collaborated to put their ideas into action through the Shaping Horizons initiative, a project supported by the University of Cambridge to produce technological solutions in Latin America.
One of the biggest challenges facing Mexico and the world is the lack of quality education. That is why we created this initiative to help people who have not been able to access adequate learning tools to face the personal and social problems caused by the lack of financial education.
What do we do?
Financial Education Courses
Our courses employ algorithms to determine each user's learning style, the topics that most interest them, and how we can assist in making this the finest financial education they have ever taken.
We have an educational program that adapts to each user depending on their behavior within the platform, their prior knowledge on the subject, and their interests. Thus, each student will make the most of their time on the platform.

Dissemination of Public Policies and Technology
We are not only interested in financial inclusion or retirement savings, but we also seek to participate in the debate on various public interest issues to visualize structural problems in our society and propose solutions.
One of the best ways in which EPLAR can participate in these issues is through digital platforms and also through direct interactions with educational institutions or various stakeholders from the private sector.
