Stablecoin remittance company Felix Pago has raised $200 million in Series B financing as it works to expand its cross-border payments business and develop additional financial products, according to information reported by Bloomberg and shared in a recent X post by @coinbureau.

The funding consists of $87 million in equity financing led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and a $113 million credit facility provided by General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund. The capital will support Felix Pago's expansion beyond its existing remittance operations and into areas including lending and savings.

The company primarily enables cross-border money transfers through WhatsApp, using stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure to facilitate settlement. Felix Pago has processed more than $8 billion in remittances to date.

Stablecoin-Based Cross-Border Transfers

Felix Pago has built its business around facilitating international remittances through WhatsApp, using stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure as part of the settlement process behind those transfers.

Stablecoins are digital assets designed to maintain a relatively stable value, commonly by being linked to a fiat currency such as the U.S. dollar. Their use in payments can provide blockchain-based settlement infrastructure while reducing exposure to the price volatility associated with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether.

For remittance companies, the underlying settlement infrastructure can be particularly relevant when transferring funds across borders. According to World Bank data, officially recorded remittance flows to low- and middle-income countries reached an estimated $685 billion in 2024, and the global average cost of sending $200 remained above 6 percent — a gap that payment-technology firms have long sought to narrow.

Felix Pago's model combines blockchain-based settlement with a widely used messaging platform, allowing customers to access its services through WhatsApp rather than through a dedicated app or physical agent locations.

The company has processed more than $8 billion in remittances so far, according to the information cited in the report.

$87 Million Equity Round Led by a16z

The Series B financing includes $87 million in equity funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, commonly known as a16z. Equity financing provides capital in exchange for an ownership interest, while the separate $113 million credit facility from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund represents debt financing rather than an equity investment. Combined, the two components bring the total financing to $200 million.

The participation of established venture capital firms reflects continued investment in financial technology businesses using blockchain infrastructure for payments. The financing structure also gives Felix Pago access to both equity capital and credit resources as it develops its business.

Plans to Expand Into Lending and Savings

Felix Pago intends to use its growing platform to move beyond its core money-transfer business. According to the information shared by @coinbureau, the company plans to expand into lending and savings products and is also developing an AI-powered financial assistant as part of its broader product strategy.

The planned expansion would position Felix Pago as more than a remittance provider, with the company seeking to offer additional financial services to users who already rely on its platform for international transfers. The development of an AI-powered assistant also signals an effort to incorporate artificial intelligence into the company's financial services offering. Details about the assistant's specific capabilities were not provided in the information cited.

Stablecoins Gain a Larger Role in Financial Infrastructure

Felix Pago's funding comes amid growing interest in stablecoins as infrastructure for payments and financial services. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies whose prices can fluctuate significantly, stablecoins are generally structured to maintain a stable reference value. This characteristic has made them an area of interest for companies seeking blockchain-based payment and settlement solutions.

The policy environment for stablecoins has also become clearer in the United States, where the GENIUS Act — signed into law in July 2025 — established a federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoin issuers. Legislative developments of this kind are among the factors companies and investors have cited when discussing stablecoin-based payment infrastructure.

Felix Pago's reported $8 billion in processed remittances provides an indication of the scale its platform has reached. The new $200 million financing gives the company additional resources as it seeks to build on that business and introduce lending, savings and AI-based financial services.

The combination of stablecoin settlement, WhatsApp-based transfers and expanded financial products places Felix Pago within the broader development of digital financial infrastructure and blockchain-enabled cross-border payments.
