Fintech revenues are generated from payments fees. Regarding our Mercado Pago service, we generate payment fees attributable to: commissions
representing a percentage of the payment volume processed that are charged to sellers in connection with off Marketplace platform transactions;
commissions from additional fees we charge when a buyer elects to pay in installments through our Mercado Pago platform for transactions that occur
either on or off our Marketplace platform; commissions from additional fees we charge when our sellers elect to withdraw cash; commissions that we
charge from transactions carried out with Mercado Pago credit and debit cards; interest cash advances and fees from merchant and consumer credits
granted under our Mercado Credito solution; and revenues from the sale of mobile points of sale products and insurtech fees. 1
