Backers included:
– Fen Ventures,
– Accion Venture Lab, and

The company intends to use the funds to scale its operations in Mexico, reinforce its leading position in Chile, and continue developing its suite of financial products.
Launched in 2015 by by Jorge Camus, Augusto Ruiz-Tagle and Sebastian Ugarte, Destacame offers a suite of products that allow consumers to thoroughly manage their financial life, including past-due debt repayment, graduating loans to help borrowers build or improve their credit history, consumer loans, credit cards, and free financial health tools.
