By GlobalDataTribal CEO Amr Shady CEO said: “Tribal is attracting the best talent to power our business growth. We’ve grown our LatAm volume by 90x in 2021.
“We’re thrilled to have value-add investors with strong operating experience who share our vision of democratising access to world-class financial services for emerging-market SMBs.”
In December 2019, Tribal rolled out its beta spend management platform to enterprise customers, enabling access to physical and virtual corporate cards.
In 2020, the firm launched Tribal Pay to facilitate international and local wires to more than 180 countries and enable customers to finance the payments for up to 120 days.
SoftBank Latin America Fund managing partner Shu Nyatta commented: “Tribal is using crypto to fundamentally change the rules of the game for payments and lending. Very few companies can bridge TradFi and DeFi in such an innovative, yet seamless way.
“We are incredibly excited to be partnering with Amr and the team as they expand credit for small businesses in emerging markets.”
