Zvilo, a FinTech company specialising in working capital solutions for underserved markets, has secured an expanded credit facility of up to €75m from Fasanara Capital.
This marks a significant extension of their existing partnership, which began with an initial funding commitment in October 2022. Fasanara Capital, an alternative asset manager based in London, has deepened its support as Zvilo scales its trade finance offering across emerging markets.
Zvilo operates as a digital trade finance platform that provides fast, data-driven credit solutions to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The firm aims to address the estimated $2.5tn global trade finance gap by deploying technology-led lending infrastructure.
The newly expanded facility will enable Zvilo to extend its reach across key growth markets in Africa, Turkey, and the broader Middle East. The funding will also support the company’s efforts to develop regional hubs and expand its lending portfolio to serve more MSME clients.
Zvilo chairman Admir Imami said, “Fasanara has been an avid and early supporter of Zvilo. This expanded facility is a strong endorsement of our performance and vision to close the $2.5 trillion global trade finance gap. As we strengthen our presence in emerging markets, we are excited to continue scaling alongside a partner that shares our mission”
Zvilo Africa CEO Peter Maila added, “With support from Fasanara, Zvilo has already funded businesses across 39 markets. This facility expansion allows us to build further in Africa and beyond, driving meaningful economic impact through scalable access to capital. Fasanara’s continued partnership is a strong endorsement of Zvilo’s strategic leadership and bold vision in building a global trade finance platform. It also reflects confidence in the scale and sophistication of Zvilo’s AI-driven technology, which is accelerating the efficient deployment of capital across the markets we serve”
