Toku Raises $48 Million Series A to Scale Global Operations

Raising the largest A round ever for a LatAm female founder

Toku, an account receivable SaaS platform, announced that it has raised $48 million in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to $55 million. With this fundraise, Toku and CEO Cristina Etcheberry have raised the largest Series A by a female founder in Latin America. The round was led by Oak HC/FT, representing its fourth fintech investment in LatAm in the past three years. Existing investors, including Gradient Ventures (one of Google’s investment funds), F-Prime, Clocktower, Y Combinator, and Honey Island by 4UM, also participated.

Toku’s software connects companies’ ERPs with banks and payment rails, enabling payment orchestration and automated collections. Its suite includes customizable payment portals, automated reconciliations, and optimized collection strategies. In Latin America, where automatic payment adoption is low, Toku increases automated payment methods from 10% to 90%, significantly boosting companies’ revenue. By leveraging real-time data, Toku automates the entire payment cycle – from method selection to customer engagement – enhancing both efficiency and user experience.

The company is focused on Mexico, Brazil, and Chile, serving mid-market to enterprise businesses in sectors like insurance, credit, education, real estate and utilities, handling collections from $10 million to $10 billion. The newly raised funds will be deployed to double down on its existing go-to-market strategy, while accelerating its product development. In 2024, Toku more than doubled in revenue, tripled its TPV, and achieved 160% net dollar retention.

Across Latin America, Toku now has more than 150 employees and serves more than 450 enterprises, including Chevrolet, Mapfre, Liverpool, and MetLife.

“Latin America still heavily relies on manual and inefficient payment collection processes, creating challenges for businesses and frustrating customers,” said Cristina Etcheberry, CEO of Toku. “These outdated methods lead to high delinquency rates and unnecessary friction. This latest investment round further validates the demand for Toku’s solutions, and we are excited to bring our technology to even more companies and regions,” added Etcheberry, who grew up in Chile in an entrepreneurial and finance-focused family.

“Mid-to-large enterprises in Latin America are navigating high operational costs, complex payment infrastructures, and increasing delinquency rates,” said Allen Miller, Partner at Oak HC/FT. “Toku is addressing this pain point and empowering businesses across diverse industries with its seamless, world-class payment technology. We are thrilled to partner with the Toku team and look forward to supporting the company in this next phase of growth.”

Toku was founded with the mission to free Latin American enterprises from outdated processes, manual tasks, an inflexible software stack, and unnecessary risks. The company ensures that businesses receive their revenue reliably and cost-effectively while enhancing the payment experience for their customers. “We aim to provide peace of mind, acting as a trusted partner that safeguards our clients’ revenue streams. By enabling businesses to focus on their core operations without added payment concerns, we help them achieve their goals. Our impact may be indirect, but it is significant – we continuously work alongside our clients to refine our services, aiming to reach over 100 million people in the next few years,” concluded Cristina Etcheberry.
