Credlix has announced its expansion into Mexico, supported by a $50 million investment from B2B eCommerce brand Moglix. This move aligns with Credlix’s objective to assist exporters in developing markets in meeting the increasing import demand from U.S. businesses for diverse and high-quality products. In a statement, Credlix highlighted the U.S. market’s dependence on imports from developing economies to fulfill its consumer and industrial needs. The company pointed out that exporters in these regions often encounter challenges such as limited access to financing, high costs, and extended payment cycles, which can hinder their growth. Credlix aims to overcome these barriers by providing rapid, collateral-free financing that improves cash flow, reduces financial strain, and supports business expansion.
Credlix offers exporters immediate access to working capital, providing up to 90% of their invoice value upon shipment. This financing model allows exporters to focus on growth without the constraints of traditional funding methods. This summer, reports indicated that several major companies had scaled back their supply-chain finance programs in response to rising interest rates. Supply-chain financing, which gained traction during the pandemic by enabling buyers to extend payment terms while avoiding additional debt, has seen adjustments as interest rates increase. For instance, AT&T has reduced its program as part of its strategy to address the impact of higher interest rates.
In related news, PYMNTS recently discussed emerging solutions in working capital management, including embedded lending, which supports small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in managing cash flow, investing in growth, and enhancing financial health. Embedded lending integrates credit access directly within platforms such as eCommerce sites, accounting software, or payment processing systems, streamlining the borrowing process and reducing the need for separate applications to financial institutions.
Jennifer Marriner, EVP of Global Acceptance Solutions at Mastercard, emphasized that SMBs are a key focus in the embedded finance sector, appreciating the ease of accessing financial services through their existing operational platforms.
