Jeeves, a B2B payments and corporate card platform for businesses in Latin America, announced it had closed a $75 million credit facility with Community Investment Management (CIM), which is a prominent global impact-focused investment manager actively investing in Latin America. Along with supporting the company’s rapid scaling, this financing will enhance Jeeves’ financial product suite in its primary Latin American markets – Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico.
Since its founding in 2021, Jeeves has quickly expanded its presence to over 20 countries, establishing itself as the preferred financial partner for thousands of global enterprises, including Burger King, H&M, Blueground, Kavak, Rappi, and many others. In its brief history, Jeeves has introduced a broad set of products that simplify essential day-to-day financial processes, including its latest offering, Jeeves Pay.
With a new credit facility from CIM, Jeeves will double down on expanding Jeeves Pay and other key product offerings in strategic Latin American markets.
Jeeves Pay enables seamless cross-border payments from Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil to dozens of countries, including China and the USA – through popular local networks such as SPEI, SWIFT, and PIX – all without transaction fees. And what differentiates Jeeves Pay is its flexibility and optionality for customers: enterprises can choose to use their funds or Jeeves’ line of credit for each transfer, enabling them with greater control over cash flow management. When additional cash flow is required, businesses can utilize their Jeeves line of credit to access repayment terms of up to 37 days. When extra liquidity is not needed, companies can opt to use their capital for interest-free transfers.
This flexibility has gained significant traction among Latin American enterprises, with payment volumes surging by over 150% year to date. And Brazil presents a substantial demand for accessible credit options among businesses. According to recent surveys, over 60% of Brazilian companies identify access to credit as a major challenge for their operations. On the back of this market demand, Jeeves also officially introduced Jeeves Pay to Brazilian businesses, accompanied by a BRL account for receiving and managing funds, to provide more flexible credit options tailored to our customers.
This strategic financing will support Jeeves’ market presence in Latin America. And through collaboration with CIM, Jeeves aims to expand its reach and deepen its impact on enterprises and medium-sized businesses in Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil.
