Monkey Exchange Raises $11M Funding

Brazilian online marketplace Monkey Exchange has raised $11 million in new funding. The financing comes as new regulations are expected to increase the market for “advance duplicates” fivefold, expanding the company's potential audience. The new rules will digitalize the process of using invoices as credit guarantees, broadening the market beyond Monkey Exchange's current customer ecosystem. This funding occurs amid strong demand for working capital from non-traditional providers like Block and PayPal.
