Here’s what we’ve learned about maximizing impact:
- Make financial services and education interactive and convenient. Our solution is an end-to-end digital financing experience. We start with a chatbot credit application in which even informal entrepreneurs can build a P&L in a way that’s intuitive for them. Within 10 minutes they have a dynamic loan offer based on their profile. We do tech enabled-KYC and the result is a validated, low risk loan.
