Diversified credit infrastructure powering payments across Africa

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a credit payments platform that enables agents and underbanked users across Africa to access quick and flexible loans. Our Debt-as-a-service model integrates with agency banks so partners can provide funding easily, expanding access to credit where traditional lending falls short. We focus on making lending work at scale by connecting users, agents, and banks into one system.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Lagos, Nigeria, and will remain based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Lagos is the center of our users and partners. Being on the ground lets us understand the challenges agents and underbanked Africans face day to day. Serving this market remotely would be impossible given how localized and trust-based financial services here are.
