LatAm FinTech funding dropped by 27% YoY in 2025
In 2025, the LatAm FinTech market experienced a further decline in both deal volume and funding, continuing the downward trend from the peak levels seen in 2021.
The year closed with 126 deals, marking a 10% drop from the 140 deals recorded in 2024 and an 88% decline from the 1,054 deals completed in 2021.
Total funding in 2025 reached $1.7bn, representing a 27% decrease from the $2.4bn raised in 2024 and an 88% drop from the $14.1bn recorded in 2021.
The average deal size in 2025 stood at $13.7m, down from $16.9m in 2024 and slightly above the $13.4m seen in 2021, indicating a continued compression in deal sizes alongside reduced capital deployment.
Deals over $100m fell by 42% as investors grew cautious
Funding from deals under $100m totalled $1.1bn in 2025, down 15% from the $1.3bn recorded in 2024 and 76% lower than the $4.6bn raised in 2021.
Larger deals valued at $100m or more accounted for $636m in 2025, representing a 42% decline from the $1.1bn recorded in 2024 and a steep 93% drop from the $9.5bn seen in 2021.
This trend highlights a broad-based contraction across both small and large transactions, with high-value deal activity experiencing the most significant pullback compared with earlier market highs.
Klar, a Mexico-based FinTech offering app-based financial products for consumers and small businesses, secured one of the biggest LatAm FinTech deals of the year with a $190m Series C round
The funding round was led by General Atlantic, valuing the company at over $800m.
Positioned as a challenger to legacy institutions, Klar is leveraging AI and digital innovation to deliver lower-cost, accessible financial solutions in a market where cash is still used daily by more than 70% of adults but digital adoption is gaining momentum.
The fresh funding will accelerate product development and support Klar’s ambition to scale its digital-first offerings, tapping into the region’s growing demand for digital wallets and real-time payment solutions.
With plans for a potential IPO by 2026, Klar is emerging as a key player in reshaping financial access across Latin America, bridging gaps in formal financial services while capitalising on the rapid shift towards mobile-based transactions.
