Brazilian Click Cash, a recently launched lending app, announced it has raised $490,000 (BRL 2.5 million) from Change Invest and private investors in Northern Europe, according to Pequenas Empresas & Grandes Negócios (PEGN).

It was founded in São Paulo last year with the propose of offering loans between BRL 500 and BRL 2,000 to individuals, with approval within 24 hours and payment in six months. The app was launched in March this year, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, and is close to reaching 100,000 downloads, according to PEGN.

In February this year, the fintech had already raised the equivalent of BRL 5.5 million in an infusion led by the Austrian Telor and the Estonian Morcote Holdings.
