Responsible lending

Our mandate is to promote access to finance for SMEs and households. Therefore it is imperative for us to have the necessary policies and procedures to maintain high social performance standards and target social returns along with financial gains.

By weaving responsible lending principles into every level of our business, we ensure that we have a solid foundation on which to build strong, lasting relationships, increase customer retention
and reduce financial risk.

We ensure customer protection by applying a well-defined risk matrix with scorecards, supported by well-informed practices and certifications. This prevents customers from borrowing more than they can afford to repay, or using products they do not need.
