Twinco Capital, a supply chain fintech focused on sustainable supply chain finance, has secured a €50 million facility with BBVA Spark, a move aimed at helping bridge the $2.5 trillion global trade finance gap, which disproportionately affects SMEs in emerging countries.
Twinco Capital, led by two female entrepreneurs, stands out as one of the few high-growth fintech firms in Europe. Their innovative approach combines purchase order funding with sustainability criteria, having already provided over $250 million in funding to suppliers in emerging markets.

Roberto Albaladejo, head of BBVA Spark, expressed his enthusiasm for supporting Twinco and its founders, stating that they have redefined the global supplier financing model by incorporating innovative environmental and social criteria.

Sandra Nolasco, CEO of Twinco Capital said: “It is only by partnering with this calibre of like-minded, financial institutions, that we will be able to address large-scale challenges like the one Twinco has set out to solve: closing the trade finance gap. This facility will support the company’s portfolio growth, expanding both the number of customers and geographies.”
In a press release, the company said it is growing rapidly and has already incorporated more than 150 suppliers, located in 13 different countries. Since launching in December 2019, Twinco Capital has grown by multiples of 3, supporting global trade during the pandemic and funding millions of purchase orders.
