Bladex (NYSE: BLX) participated as lender for MXN 300 million in favor of Arrendamás through a private securitization structured by i-Structure, aimed at strengthening its capacity to provide productive loans and financial leasing solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mexico.

Bladex acted as the funding bank for the transaction, which was designed, structured, and advised by i-Structure, a leading Mexican investment banking firm specializing in portfolio securitizations, with a term of up to six and a half years. The structure includes the participation of Arrendadora y Soluciones de Negocios, S.A.P.I. de C.V., SOFOM, E.N.R., and Arrendamiento y Soluciones de Activos, S.A.P.I. de C.V., collectively referred to as Arrendamás, as originators and primary servicers of the assets.

Arrendamás is a Mexican financial institution specialized in providing productive loans and leasing solutions for SMEs and individuals with business activities—sectors that play a key role in the country’s economic development.

The transaction was structured as a private securitization designed to optimize funding sources and strengthen the company’s operational capacity, enabling it to expand its reach and serve a greater number of companies across different regions of Mexico.

According to Alberto Martínez, CEO of Arrendamás, “this transaction reflects the confidence of our creditors in the strength of our institution and our business model. It will allow us to expand our commercial reach and generate new financing to support the growth of an increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises throughout Mexico. We appreciate the trust of Bladex as funding bank and i-Structure as structuring agent in this transaction, which strengthens our ability to continue offering accessible and responsible financial solutions.”

For his part, Jorge Salas, CEO of Bladex, highlighted that “this structured credit demonstrates our ability to develop flexible and efficient financial solutions that strengthen the regional financial ecosystem. We are proud to work alongside i-Structure to support Arrendamás in its mission to drive the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises, a segment that generates employment, energizes local economies, and contributes to the well-being of millions of people.”

Victor Gonzalez, founder and CEO of i-Structure, noted that “for the past 16 years, i-Structure has focused on designing and structuring innovative financial solutions that address companies’ real funding needs. This transaction with Arrendamás demonstrates how financial engineering and specialized structuring can efficiently connect capital with the productive economy, expanding access to financing for SMEs and supporting our clients as strategic partners in their long-term growth and development.”

The financing was disbursed in two tranches: the first on December 15, 2025, and the second on February 27, 2026.

Transactions like this highlight the importance of collaboration between financial institutions, specialized structuring firms, and capital markets participants to channel resources toward the real economy. Partnerships such as the one between Bladex and i-Structure help deliver efficient financing solutions, diversify funding sources, and expand access to credit for small and medium-sized enterprises, strengthening a more dynamic, inclusive financial ecosystem capable of driving sustainable growth in Latin America.
