Lending

Merchant cash advances backed by payment cashflows

SmartPesa powers SME business partnerships, extending beyond simple payment services to facilitate instant cashflow backed loans.  Whether it is a short term bridging loans to fund payroll or a longer term loan to allow for expansion, SmartPesa Credible covers credit risk decision making, loan offering and repayment services in an integrated package.

 

It’s as easy as 1-2-3:

  1. Pre-authorisation:  Credit risk engine using computes scores for merchants based on their transaction history and can estimate when businesses are likely to be short of cash (e.g. leading up to Christmas period)
  2. Direct offer and acceptance:  Personalised loan offer made directly to the decision maker from their existing trusted payment partner using the SmartPesa App (popup), email, SMS and/or phone call.  Acceptance is as simple as clicking a button on a phone
  3. Simplified repayment: Loan repayment is deducted from settlement proceeds from ongoing payment cashflows

Making loans simple, intelligent, instant and low cost not only generates significant interest income, it also improves customer experiences and increases stickiness.  Why would an SME apply for a loan from anywhere else?
