RappiPay secures USD 112 mln to boost financial inclusion – The Paypers

RappiPay, Colombian Banco Davivienda and Rappi’s fintech has secured USD 112 million financing in a credit to boost financial inclusion in the LATAM country.

The financial credit was granted by Bancolombia, Banco de Bogota, Itau, and the payments’ fintech owner, Davivienda.

Driving financial inclusion

As per the new capital infusion, RappiPay will now allow its users to create 100% digital accounts to perform a series of online banking and payments services, including sending and collecting money, paying utility bills, transferring to other banks, and more. In addition, the RappiPay card enables frictionless and fast payments for in-store shopping.

Part of the funds will also be used to provide financial products and solutions to underbanked and underserved Colombians, boosting the country’s digitalisation programme and driving financial inclusion at the same time. According to RappiPay’s CEO, Gabriel Migowski, the capital infusion shows the market’s support and trust in RappiPay, guaranteeing the necessary resources to continue delivering high-end digital payments solutions to citizens across Colombia.

The news about the fintech’s latest funds comes shortly after it first obtained the license to operate as a bank in Colombia, back in June 2021. Until then, RappiPay was only providing cards and deposit account services, with limited access to further digital products and services.
