Fasanara Capital has reportedly increased its credit commitment to Addi, a commerce and financial platform in Colombia, by $11 million as part of a $71 million upsizing of Addi’s credit facilities along with Goldman Sachs. This commitment enhances Addi’s capital position and supports its goal / objective to build more inclusive credit infrastructure across the Latin American region.
Francesco Filia, CEO of Fasanara Capital said that Fasanara “is committed to advancing the future” of buy now, pay later (BNPL).
Their partnership with Addi reflects a shared vision “to expand access to fair and responsible credit.”
Santiago Suárez, co-founder and CEO of Addi said that they have always believed Colombia deserves a “credit system that works for everyone.”
They added that the support of Goldman Sachs, Fasanara, and BBVA Spark is “more than financial backing; it’s a vote of confidence in our mission and in the sustainable business we’ve built.”
Fasanara’s increased investment “underscores its confidence in Addi’s platform, leadership, and long-term impact on the region’s financial ecosystem.”
Addi’s dual-sided model and proprietary “underwriting engine are central to its differentiated approach, driving high consumer engagement and strong merchant ROI.”
At present, more than “2.5 million consumers and 30,000 merchants rely on Addi’s platform to power everyday commerce.”
The capital will support Addi’s merchant footprint and the rollout of products designed to “help consumers better manage cash flow and build positive credit outcomes.”
With this investment, Addi is said to be well-capitalised “to close out 2025 and continue scaling responsibly across Colombia.”
