WEB Brothers Roy and Bertrand Sosa have experienced a captivating entrepreneurial journey that has taken them across the globe before ultimately returning home to Austin, Texas. Their path has been marked by unwavering determination, innovation, and a deep connection to their family's heritage.
Early Beginnings: A New Chapter in Texas
In 1986, the Sosa brothers left their home in Mexico and embarked on a new chapter in their lives, moving to Austin, Texas. Their mother's pursuit of a medical career brought them to this vibrant city, where they would eventually establish their own successful businesses.

Under their leadership, Netspend grew into a global enterprise and was ultimately acquired by Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) in 2015.
