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

> Miami based fintech Félix has closed a $200M Series C, split between $87M in equity led by a16z and General Catalyst and $113M in credit from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund. The round values the company at around $1.4B, roughly triple its Series B mark. Félix started with AI powered remittances sent through WhatsApp, letting users move money across borders inside a chat, and settling transfers using the USDC stablecoin. It is now expanding into lending, savings and what it describes as an AI financial companion. The company is pushing into Brazil and Venezuela, chasing the large flow of money Latin American workers send home. Building financial services directly inside a messaging app that people already use every day is a very different distribution model from a standalone bank, and the size of this raise shows investors buy the thesis.
