Documented cause
Spin by Oxxo was a digital wallet launched by FEMSA leveraging Oxxo's 20,000 store network in Mexico. Despite reaching 3M users, the product struggled with low transaction frequency and could not compete with CoDi (Mexico's instant payment system) and Mercado Pago. FEMSA shut down Spin in 2023, citing the product's inability to achieve the engagement metrics needed to justify continued investment.
Lesson
“User registration is not user activation. A wallet with 3M registered users but 15% monthly activation is not a payments product — it is a loyalty card with extra steps.”
