CrediBility is an innovative Credit Scoring as a Service that empowers SACCO’s and community’s members to access responsible and affordable credit
Why?
Lenders lack data and tools to properly assess new borrowers’ affordability, offering borrowers conditions that don’t match their financial capabilities
New borrowers lack financial awareness and education to assess if the repayment terms match their expected cashflow
73% of Kenyans lack access to affordable credit to overcome cashflow needs
or are trapped in chronic indebtedness
The Challenge
Communities based lenders such as SACCOs and Chamas tend to offer more responsible and affordable loans leveraging borrowers’ social assets and trying to match loans terms to borrowers’ financial capabilities
Most SACCOs lack the data and tools to automate their credit underwriting processes
SACCOs’ credit underwriting process is labor extensive and therefore not scalable and less appealing for the younger generation
revolutionizes the traditional credit inclusion
