By GlobalDataAccording to the company, its business witnessed a five-fold growth since the start of the year.
Commenting on its expansion plans, ADDI co-founder and CEO Santiago Suarez said: “In Colombia and Latin America, most consumers can’t be part of the digital economy. Paying online is incredibly difficult, affordability is limited, and very few folks have a credit card.
“We empower merchants and customers and make it possible for them to meet digitally and transact with a fast, fair, and disruptive way of paying.”
Union Square Ventures general partner John Buttrick remarked that ADDI is enabling Latin American merchants to grow their ecommerce businesses by offering their customers convenient payment options that free up capital and boost sales.
“We believe ADDI will soon be an important company in Latin American consumer finance,” Buttrick added.
Partnership with Banco Santander
ADDI has also signed a strategic partnership with Banco Santander in Colombia.
As part of the tie-up, both parties will come together to offer financing for consumer products as a single solution for merchants in Colombia.
The partnership is expected to be launched in June 2021.
