R2, a lending infrastructure company, closed a $100M debt facility from Community Investment Management (CIM).
R2 enables payment processors, POS systems, and marketplaces to provide financing to small and medium businesses (SMBs) in Latin America.
This transaction will enable R2 to scale and strengthen its lending capabilities and partnerships.
“This facility will enable R2 to provide seamless financial services to a broader range of small businesses that sell digitally, fostering economic growth in Mexico,” said Thomas Wright, Head of Finance & Capital Markets at R2.
In September 2022, R2 raised a $15M Series A round, led by Gradient Ventures, Google’s AI-focused venture fund.
