# Félix Raises $87M Equity and Secures a $113M Credit Facility

> Andreessen Horowitz led $87M of equity for WhatsApp-based remittance platform Félix, while General Catalyst supplied a separate $113M lending facility.

Félix announced a **$200 million financing package**, but only **$87 million is equity**. [Andreessen Horowitz](/fund/andreessen-horowitz) led that portion; a separate **$113 million credit facility** from [General Catalyst](/fund/general-catalyst)’s Customer Value Fund is intended to finance lending.

That distinction changes the story. The equity capital funds the company, while the facility supports a balance-sheet product whose economics depend on repayment and credit performance.

## Equity versus debt

| Component       |    Amount | Provider                                                            |
| --------------- | --------: | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Equity          |  **$87M** | a16z led; QED, Castle Island, Switch, Contour and Endeavor Catalyst |
| Credit facility | **$113M** | General Catalyst Customer Value Fund                                |
| Total package   | **$200M** | Mixed financing                                                     |

Reports describe the equity as Series C. The full $200 million should not be called a Series C round.

## The business behind the package

Félix lets Latin American immigrants in the United States send money through WhatsApp. The company reports processing more than **$8 billion** and growing revenue **2.5 times annually**. Those figures are company disclosures; audited revenue, margins, active-user count and loss rates were not reported.

The credit facility signals an expansion from fee-based remittances into lending. That can increase revenue per customer, but it also makes underwriting quality, funding cost and collections central to the investment case.

## What investors still need

Félix did not disclose valuation, equity dilution, facility pricing, advance rates, covenants or expected loan losses. A large headline total can obscure those terms.

The next proof point is whether Félix can preserve the trust and low-friction distribution of WhatsApp remittances while building a credit book. The $113 million facility supplies capacity; it does not prove that borrowers can be acquired and served profitably.
