Afluenta

Afluenta is Latin America's first peer-to-peer lending marketplace, connecting individual borrowers with lenders to facilitate personal loans at competitive rates without traditional bank intermediaries. Founded in 2010 by Alejandro Cosentino and launched in Argentina in 2012, the platform subsequently expanded to Peru and planned further rollouts across Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. Afluenta promotes financial inclusion by offering transparent loan terms and enabling lenders to earn returns typically unavailable through conventional savings products. The company raised $8 million in a Series B round in 2016 to fuel its regional expansion across Latin America.
