# Félix Raises $200M Series C for AI-Powered WhatsApp Remittances

> Félix, a fintech that lets people send money home through WhatsApp using an AI assistant, has raised a 200 million dollar Series C, split between 87 million dollars of equity from Andreessen Horowitz and 113 million dollars of debt from General Catalyst. The financing roughly triples the company's valuation from its Series B and brings its total raised to around 300 million dollars since 2020. The traction underneath is substantial: Félix says it has processed more than 8 billion dollars in transactions and now serves 11 Latin American markets, including Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Honduras and Peru. Remittances are a huge, fee-heavy market, and the pitch here is that a familiar chat app plus an AI layer can make cross-border transfers simpler and cheaper than the incumbents. The mix of equity and debt is telling too, giving Félix lending capital to fund transfers without handing over more ownership than it needs to.
