Brazilian credit marketplace FinanZero raises USD 11 million for further expansion

São Paulo, April 2019 – FinanZero, a Brazilian fintech that operates as a consumer loan broker, received a new round of investment, raising USD 11 million from Atlant Fonder, Dunross & Co and Vostok Emerging Finance, among other investors.

 

“FinanZero will improve its technical platform and invest heavily in marketing to increase the visibility of the brand. We have already received more than 3 million loan applications in three years of operation in the Brazilian market,” explains Olle Widén, CEO of FinanZero.

“Today, the Company has a growth of 50% per quarter, which adds up to more than 1 million visitors on our site per month,” adds Widén.

Inspired by the success of the business model in Sweden, FinanZero was created in Brazil, where the fintech market is growing rapidly.
