Tiger Global and KASZEK led a USD24m round for Minka, a Colombian API payment network, with follow-on from Fintech Collective. Minka raised USD3m from Fintech Collective, Colle Capital Partners and the Collaborative Fund in May 2020.

(TechCrunch) – Bogota-based payments infrastructure startup Minka has secured $24 million in a funding round co-led by Tiger Global Management and Kaszek.
