Colombian Fintech Klym, Formerly Omnilatam, Raises US$27 Million
Summary
Colombian SME financing fintech KLYM, formerly Omni Latam, announced today a US$27 million investment round led by JPMorgan and the IFC (International Finance Corporation), a World Bank entity focused on the private sector in developing countries. With the round, the Colombian company accumulates more than US$200 million in financing, although approximately half of that amount corresponds to equity. KLYM was known as Omni Latam until October, when the fintech executed a name change citing its intention also to reach countries outside Latin America. Previously, Omni Latam had made headlines for, among other things, being acquired by British firm Greensill Capital and then bought back by its founders when the foreign firm filed for bankruptcy.
