Rappi Enrolls 150,000 Couriers in Mexico's IMSS, Secures $100 Million for Expansion

The company pledges to absorb the new compliance costs under the 180-day government pilot.

Overview

  • Rappi says no courier can begin work until IMSS registration is confirmed, citing full compliance since the pilot started on July 1.
  • The company rolled out signed contracts with an attached algorithmic policy, opened a human support center and a reform hotline, and expanded payroll and compliance hiring.
  • Rappi obtained $100 million from Santander and Kirkoswald Capital Partners to accelerate growth in Mexico, expand Turbo deliveries and other verticals, and refinance prior debt, according to CEO Iván Cadavid.
  • The registered base rose from 100,000 couriers at the pilot’s launch to 150,000 by the end of July after pruning inactive accounts, company executives said.
  • Executives pledged to keep prices unchanged for users and partner businesses while covering formalization costs during the government’s 180-day test program.
