"How Coupang missed the Fintech opportunity It won in e-commerce but lost the wallet war Coupang $CPNG the Amazon of South Korea controls close to XX% of the countrys e-commerce market and serves almost half the population. Even with its dominant position Coupang continues to grow with analysts projecting $XX billion in revenue by 2027. That made me think Coupang must have a strong Fintech arm just like Mercado Libre $MELI with Mercado Pago or Sea $SE with Shopee. But I was wrong. Coupangs Fintech business is limited to a wallet Coupang Pay and a co-branded credit card WOW card. Limited"
