What is Fintoc?
Filling in the operational gaps a Latam payments API needs to graduate from PSP to treasury platform.
Fintoc is in steady operational-buildout mode: monthly PDF statements, downloadable transfer receipts, programmable min/max amount rejection rules, a saved-recipients book, and CLABE lifecycle management for Mexico (a critical bit since CLABE quotas are scarce). The bigger checkout move — adding card payments alongside bank transfers in Chile, plus Apple Pay — landed just before this window and is now being polished.
What is GOAT.tax?
GOAT.tax adds Form 6765 Section G reporting for large R&D credit filers.
GOAT.tax is filling in what Form 6765 requires. The 10/15 release adds a Qualified Activity Type breakdown (direct research, supervision, support) for studies that meet the Section G thresholds, captures EIN and NAICS codes for the report, and extends bulk SME assignment to wage and expense workspaces. Earlier releases added multi-company support, partner white-labeling, a Controlled Group data model and broader state credit coverage.

Filling in the operational gaps a Latam payments API needs to graduate from PSP to treasury platform.
◆ Current state
Fintoc is in steady operational-buildout mode: monthly PDF statements, downloadable transfer receipts, programmable min/max amount rejection rules, a saved-recipients book, and CLABE lifecycle management for Mexico (a critical bit since CLABE quotas are scarce). The bigger checkout move — adding card payments alongside bank transfers in Chile, plus Apple Pay — landed just before this window and is now being polished.
◆ Where it's heading
The roadmap is widening from payment initiation toward full treasury infrastructure. Recipient management, statements, and CLABE garbage collection are all the kind of features customers ask for once they are actually running their corporate flows on the platform — Fintoc is responding to that pull rather than chasing a strategic pivot. Mexico-specific releases are landing more often, suggesting that market is ramping faster than Chile.
◆ Prediction
Expect Apple Pay to extend to Mexico next, deeper conciliation and reconciliation tooling for the Treasury cluster, and new endpoints around partial CLABE pools that ease quota pressure for high-volume Mexican customers.
GOAT.tax
5.0FINANCE
GOAT.tax adds Form 6765 Section G reporting for large R&D credit filers.
◆ Current state
GOAT.tax is filling in what Form 6765 requires. The 10/15 release adds a Qualified Activity Type breakdown (direct research, supervision, support) for studies that meet the Section G thresholds, captures EIN and NAICS codes for the report, and extends bulk SME assignment to wage and expense workspaces. Earlier releases added multi-company support, partner white-labeling, a Controlled Group data model and broader state credit coverage.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving upmarket: Section G applies only to filers above $1.5M in QREs and $50M in gross receipts, and multi-company plus Controlled Group work targets complex corporate structures. A steady UI redesign of workspaces runs alongside, aimed at making large studies manageable.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Controlled Group model to surface as user-facing computations, and Section G output to flow into the generated 6765 report within the next few releases.
