Atria gets $3M to offer pre-owned car credit lines to Mexicans

Addem Capital, a Mexico City fund focused on Latin America, granted $3.1 million to Atria, a start-up that offers loans for the purchase of pre-owned cars in the country.

Atria’s proposal is backed by a team that has in-depth knowledge of the sector and expertise in loans, risk management, analysis, and technology.
