Kleva

Omnichannel AI debt-collection for LATAM

Overview

Kleva builds AI collection agents for banks, lenders, fintechs, and insurers in Latin America to run omnichannel debt-collection conversations. The agents communicate across phone, WhatsApp, SMS, and email with shared context, negotiate payment plans, and write outcomes back into cores, CRMs, dialers, and spreadsheets. It focuses on Spanish-speaking LATAM markets with regional accents and formal compliance controls, and integrates with existing stacks without lengthy migrations while providing clear recovery metrics. The goal is to improve recovery outcomes while lowering the cost per account by delivering the right channel at the right time and ensuring data consistency and regulatory compliance.

Kleva, a Mexican fintech startup specialising in AI agents for debt collection, has raised $1.55 million in a seed round led by Wollef Ventures. Nascent, Kuiper VC and Lerer Hippeau also participated in the funding.
