BBVA Spark provides financing tailored to market demands. “We are pleased to support Fairplay in its mission to offer innovative credit solutions to Mexican SMEs with great potential,” said Rodrigo Velasco, Head of BBVA Spark in LatAm.

From its first raise with Architect Capital in 2021 for $20 million, to the $100 million facility with Community Investment Management (CIM) in 2023, Fairplay seems to prove its robust platform can execute.

Through its working capital platform, Fairplay continues to demonstrate that financial solutions tailored to the needs of the most dynamic businesses are critical to economic growth and stability.
