• Underinsured.
• Unbanked.

of the informal sector and appetite for E-commerce is
growing exponentially especially now due to Covid
restrictions.
They rely on traditional banking models of:
Inconveniently located branches.
Expensive legacy technology.
Long turnaround times.
High travel costs.
Lending based on credit score & collateral.
There is:
$132 billion
in unmatched credit need by
81 million SMEs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
