Financial Solutions That Make A Difference

We believe strongly in financial inclusion, enabling easy access to life-changing offerings that solve our customer’s problems and help them to better their lives.

We are a dedicated, trusted guide for customers as they work toward a brighter financial future. We are committed to a collaborative, consultative approach – listening before we advise and providing the right help at the right time.

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.

Good Governance
