Carey Olsen Advised Klar On US$190 Million Series C Funding Round

Carey Olsen’s advised Mexico-based digital bank Klar on its US$190 million Series C funding round, which values the company at over US$800 million.

The funding round, led by U.S. private equity firm General Atlantic, comprised US$170 million in equity and US$20 million in venture debt and has attracted backing from both new and existing investors, including Santander and Mexican media company Televisa.

Trevor McCabe commented: “Having already established itself as a key player in Mexico’s fintech sector, Klar has achieved a new milestone with its Series C funding round and subsequent increase in value to over US$800 million. Investors have recognised Klar’s potential for significant growth amid this competitive landscape, and we look forward to seeing how the company drives forward developments in the digital banking space as a result of this successful funding round.”

The Carey Olsen team advising on the transaction comprised Trevor McCabe (Partner) and Evan Stitt (Senior Associate), working alongside onshore U.S. counsel Gunderson Dettmer.
