Round strengthens Vixtra’s position as a trade finance platform and the “bank for importers” in Brazil.
KLA advised Vixtra in its approximately US$8.5 million (around BRL 45 million) Series A funding round, led by Valor Capital, with participation from NXTP, Actyus, Headline, Collier Fund, and Simma Fintech.
Founded in 2021, Vixtra has established itself as one of the leading trade finance platforms serving small and medium-sized importers in Brazil, positioning itself as a true “bank for importers.”
The company offers an integrated solution that combines specialized credit, foreign exchange services, supplier data, logistics, and end-to-end visibility across import operations. Its model enables businesses to use goods in transit as collateral, expanding access to working capital in a segment that has historically been underserved by traditional financial institutions.
The funds raised will be used to expand Vixtra’s credit lines and further develop its platform, including the launch of new products such as insurance solutions, FX hedging, and the integration of stablecoin-based infrastructure for foreign exchange and financing operations.
On KLA’s side, the transaction was led by partner Francisco Alverne, from the Corporate and M&A team, with the participation of associates Rodrigo Candido and Letícia Grilo.
The platform was also advised by Gunderson Dettmer, with attorneys Adan C. Muller, Stefania Gomes Toschi, and Carolina Zanolo.
