Bold is a Colombia-based fintech focused on equipping small and medium-sized enterprises with a suite of digital payment tools, including POS terminals, QR-code payment software, and online business bank accounts. The company recently enhanced its regional footprint by acquiring VendeMás, the payment facilitator previously owned by Niubiz, as part of its entry strategy into Peru. With the new capital, Bold plans to deepen its operations in the Peruvian market over the next year and is actively evaluating expansion opportunities in Ecuador, Chile, and various Central American countries. Co-founder and CEO José Vélez emphasized that the fresh resources will accelerate product enhancement and geographic growth. Financially, the company has now secured two sizeable rounds in quick succession: a $50 million Series C earlier in 2024 and the current $40 million round. Although specific revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the repeated backing of General Atlantic signals strong investor confidence. Bold’s overarching goal is to become a leading payments infrastructure provider for SMEs across Latin America.
