Addi Raises $85 Million Series D Led By Citius

By Amit Chowdhry • Today at 5:08 PM

Addi announced the close of its $85 million Series D equity financing round. The round was led by Citius and co-led by BTG Pactual. The financing included participation from GIC, Monashees, and others. The round marks BTG Pactual’s first Growth investment outside Brazil.

Addi said the financing underscores growing investor confidence in the company and Colombia’s financial services market.

Addi is a commerce and financial services platform in Colombia serving more than 3 million customers and over 39,000 merchants.

The company works with merchants ranging from small businesses to large brands.

Addi’s platform helps expand access to credit, improve the payment experience, and increase conversion rates.

The company said it has built an AI-first technology platform serving millions of Colombians and tens of thousands of merchants.

Addi has been profitable for two years and raised the Series D to accelerate growth and bring additional global partners to the company.

BTG Pactual’s Private Capital division co-led the round through its Growth Strategy, which focuses on high-growth companies across Latin America.

As part of the investment, Addi and BTG Pactual agreed to collaborate on strategic initiatives in the Colombian market.

Previous financing rounds included participation from GIC, Quona, Monashees, Union Square Ventures, Citius, and Andreessen Horowitz.

The Series D follows several recent milestones for Addi.

In April 2026, the company closed a $150 million structured credit facility led by J.P. Morgan.

Addi said the facility was the first warehouse financing structure J.P. Morgan arranged for a company in Colombia.

That transaction brought Addi’s total debt commitments to more than $680 million.

Addi also received authorization from the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia to operate as a regulated entity, opening the door for deposit-taking activities.

Earlier this year, Fast Company named Addi one of the world’s three most innovative fintech companies.

Addi will use the Series D proceeds to continue growing its credit platform, strengthen its technology infrastructure, and expand its portfolio of financial products for consumers and merchants across Colombia.

The company was founded in 2018 by Santiago Suárez, Daniel Vallejo, and Elmer Ortega.
