Colombian payments infrastructure startup Yuno secured $45 million in Series B funding led by Andreessen Horowitz and Tiger Global. The capital will fund global expansion and the company's path to profitability.

Yuno processes transactions across multiple markets for enterprise clients. The startup's platform abstracts payment complexity, enabling companies to operate in different regions without managing separate integrations for each market's payment methods and currencies. The Series B round represents significant validation for the cross-border payments space, where competition remains intense. Yuno competes with established players and newer entrants targeting similar infrastructure gaps. The company plans to deploy capital toward expanding its network of payment corridors and strengthening engineering infrastructure. Yuno also targets improving unit economics as it scales from earlier growth phases toward sustainable profitability. Colombian tech startups have attracted increasing venture attention in recent years. Yuno's funding reflects broader investor confidence in Latin American fintech solutions addressing regional and global payment challenges.
