# Clara

> Clara is the leading corporate spend management platform in Latin America. It helps companies make and manage all their payments — from corporate credit cards to vendor payments — with AI-powered automation, real-time visibility, and full financial control. Founded in 2020, Clara operates in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, serving over 30,000 businesses ranging from startups to enterprise companies like Smart Fit, VTEX, Toyota, and Bolsa Mexicana de Valores.

Clara's core platform includes corporate credit cards (physical, virtual, and single-use VCNs), an expense management system with automated approvals, invoice matching, reimbursements, and an AI-powered financial analyst called Clara Intelligence. It integrates natively with ERPs like SAP, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and others. Clara holds ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS 4.0 certifications. Important: product availability varies by country — see the regional sections below for details.

Clara has raised over $160M in equity from investors including General Catalyst, Goldman Sachs, Notable Capital, Coatue, DST Global, ICONIQ, Kaszek, and Monashees, plus over $250M in debt financing.
