Finclusion Group, an African fintech platform, has secured US$20million in a funding round with leading fintech debt financing provider, Lendable.
Finclusion uses advanced proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms alongside pioneering technology to grant safe financial services, all while maintaining accurate automated credit decisions.
This partnership will help Finclusion widen its reach in East and South African markets thus making a sustained impact and driving financial inclusivity in segments that have traditionally been underserved.
Finclusion CEO Timothy Nuy says that the debt raise is further confirmation of the passion and hard work displayed by the team in creating a range of products and solutions that place the company at the forefront of fintech on the continent.
“The opportunities to scale across our portfolio are now endless, and we’re proud to say that we’ve already secured a number of new key distribution partnerships that will scale our customer base rapidly.”
He says that the group will continue to leverage its deep credit, risk and technology expertise to drive financial inclusion and well-being in Africa. Finclusion boasts multiple products that address underserved markets in Africa by providing solutions that make financial services inclusive whilst also encouraging financial education and wellness.
“We are very happy to be partnering with the team at Finclusion and are always excited by the prospect of partners whose core function serves to better the financial situation and means of their customers,” says Lendable CEO Chris Wehbe.
“We’re looking forward to seeing the Finclusion Group reach even more customers across Africa with our funding driving further financial wellness and inclusion — both of which are a core focus for Lendable.”
