MUNDI lands up to $150M Column financing to expand Mexico-U.S. trade finance

MUNDI secured a new financing facility of up to $150 million from Column, giving the Mexican fintech more room to fund exporters and their supply chains. The deal more than doubles MUNDI’s receivables capacity and comes as cross-border trade rules face uncertainty under the USMCA review.

Why it matters: - The facility expands access to dollar-denominated working capital for Mexican exporters, a segment that has historically had limited financing options. - MUNDI says the new funding will help more companies compete for North American trade as the USMCA review creates uncertainty around cross-border terms. - Greater financing access can materially change business outcomes for Mexican firms, including investment, revenue, production and employment.

What happened: - MUNDI announced the close of a financing facility of up to $150 million from Column. - Column is a nationally chartered bank that provides regulated financial infrastructure for technology companies. - The deal is Column’s first financing partnership with a trade-finance-focused fintech in Mexico. - The facility strengthens MUNDI’s funding capacity as the company scales its trade finance offering across Mexico.

The details: - The new facility adds to MUNDI’s existing credit lines and, together with other recent debt facility renewals, raises the company’s capacity to grow its receivables portfolio to up to $325 million. - That new capacity is more than double MUNDI’s previous level. - U.S. imports from Mexico reached $534.3 billion in 2025, with momentum continuing into 2026. - Micro, small and medium enterprises make up the backbone of Mexico’s economy, but they produce less than 7% of the country’s exports. - Supplier financing remains the most common funding source for Mexican companies, while financing from foreign-domiciled banks remains marginal. - When financing reaches Mexican companies, the reported impact is 7x more investment, 6x more revenue, 5x more production and 4x more employment. - MUNDI provides working-capital solutions for Mexican exporters and their supply chains. - Column’s platform allows MUNDI to draw funding daily, in minutes, according to MUNDI CEO Martin Pustilnick. - Brian Fishbein, Column’s chief investment officer, said the partnership will scale reliable capital for Mexican exporters and supply chains across North America. - MUNDI included social links and company channels in its announcement, along with Instagram, Facebook and YouTube references.

Between the lines: - The announcement highlights a wider funding gap in Mexican trade finance, where exporters often need fast, dollar-based liquidity but face limited formal access. - The timing suggests MUNDI is positioning itself to benefit from trade uncertainty by offering speed and flexibility as a competitive edge. - The deal also shows regulated banking infrastructure becoming a tool for fintechs that lend into cross-border supply chains.

What's next: - MUNDI plans to use the added capacity to expand access to capital for more exporters and their supply chains. - MUNDI also expects to develop new products in the coming months. - The company’s ability to deploy funding quickly may become more important if trade conditions shift during the USMCA review.
