Zvilo Expands Credit Facility Of Up To €75 Million From Fasanara Capital

Fasanara Capital, a London-based investment firm focused on FinTech, had first backed Zvilo in October 2022. This new commitment builds on that support.

Admir Imami, Chairman at Zvilo, commented: “Fasanara has been an avid and early supporter of Zvilo. This expanded facility is a strong endorsement of our performance and vision to close the $2.5 trillion global trade finance gap. As we strengthen our presence in emerging markets, we are excited to continue scaling alongside a partner that shares our mission”.

Zvilo aims to close the global trade finance gap by offering solutions that meet borrower needs and deliver strong returns to investors.

Peter Maila, CEO at Zvilo Africa, added: “With support from Fasanara, Zvilo has already funded businesses across 39 markets. This facility expansion allows us to build further in Africa and beyond driving meaningful economic impact through scalable access to capital. Fasanara’s continued partnership is a strong endorsement of Zvilo’s strategic leadership and bold vision in building a global trade finance platform. It also reflects confidence in the scale and sophistication of Zvilo’s AI-driven technology, which is accelerating the efficient deployment of capital across the markets we serve“.

This new milestone marks a stronger partnership between Zvilo and Fasanara Capital. Zvilo has already used the initial funding to grow its presence and serve clients in over 39 markets.

Zvilo’s use of technology, disciplined underwriting, and regional expertise align well with our vision for next-generation credit. We are proud to continue supporting their growth and impact.”

Zvilo says the full €75 million facility will help grow its portfolio, strengthen regional hubs, and provide more MSMEs with quick, data-driven trade finance solutions.
