CSI Latina Financial wins national award

CSI Leasing reports its wholly-owned subsidiary, CSI Latina Financial has received an Impact Award from The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), which recognizes exceptional achievement in international private sector development.

CSI Latina received the American Small Business Award. Based in Miami, the company provides growth and support to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing Latin American countries. Empowered by multiple OPIC loans, CSI Latina offers leases on items ranging from machinery to communications technology to furniture. This support plays a key role in enabling growing SMEs and enterprises to overcome budget constraints and achieve greater financial flexibility.

Carlos Milian, executive vice president for CSI Latina, accepted the award on behalf of CSI.“OPIC not only helped us expand our financing needs when we initiated our business in Latin America, it helped us navigate through the global financial crisis, where the lending market dried up almost overnight,” Milian said. “OPIC was there for us then and remains here today to help us with our current financing needs.”
