À propos
4G Capital has supported micro-enterprises in Africa since 2013, providing financial literacy training with working capital loans to help small businesses grow sustainably. 4G Capital clients receive a bespoke programme of business training to help them use micro-loans to achieve much higher take-home earnings. 4G Capital’s proprietorial machine learning technology delivers high fidelity insights from traditionally data dark sectors. We design scalable credit products and services optimized for clients’ business risks, timescales and affordability. Training is delivered via mobile apps and face-to-face outreach. Using only mobile money, loans are accessed in under two minutes with either smart or feature phones. Our Story 4G Capital seeks to address the Finance Gap across Africa. This stands at over $19 billion for Micro and SMEs in Kenya alone (source: IFC), even though this important segment accounts for over 30% of GDP. It is almost impossible for these companies to access credit without high collateral and data requirements. Over 30% of small businesses fail due to lack of funding. 4G Capital consistently achieves very high collections rates without collateral or refinancing its clients, by only lending to viable businesses on terms that are right for them. 4G Capital has impacted over 1.8 million people by the start of 2022. With operations in Kenya and Uganda, and having received multiple industry awards, 4G Capital is now scaling across the continent and expanding its suite of products and services as Africa’s Fastest Fintech. Key achievements to date: · >94% collection rates without refinancing clients · Net Promoter Score 83 · Clients increase revenues by average 82% · 81% Women Customers · 84% Repeat Customers · 77% Rural Clients · 94% Increased financial literacy · $213m worth of loans to date · 133 locations in Kenya and Uganda combined

4G Capital Secures $2M #Funding to Enhance Financial Inclusion in East Africa's Informal Economy Kenyan #fintech disruptor 4G Capital is making waves in the financial inclusion landscape after securing $2 million in strategic funding. This investment will directly support the expansion of its innovative lending model tailored for #microenterprises operating in #East_Africa's informal economy. Combining cutting-edge digital technology with essential human customer support, 4G Capital has been a game-changer for businesses historically excluded from the formal financial system. Founded in 2013, 4G Capital has disbursed over $800 million in #loans to an impressive 755,000 clients across #Kenya and #Uganda, showcasing its formidable impact. The company has facilitated 6.8 million loans that not only fuel entrepreneurial growth but also foster resilient livelihoods among underserved populations.

The investment comes from GIF Growth, the Global Innovation Fund’s specialized growth-stage vehicle. It is set to enhance 4G Capital's unique #touch_tech model—an innovative hybrid that marries digital lending with hands-on support from local field officers. This dual approach ensures that clients not only gain access to much-needed capital, but also receive valuable financial literacy training and ongoing business support. The $2 million will be pivotal for further refining 4G Capital’s digital infrastructure and forging critical strategic partnerships. These enhancements are expected to elevate service delivery and operational efficiency, allowing the company to scale its impact while retaining the strong community ties that set it apart. 4G Capital's journey offers a compelling case study on how innovative financing solutions can alleviate poverty and empower communities.

Last week’s raises suggest investors are still rewarding fintech models connected to everyday commerce. Capital is still flowing to fintechs solving very practical problems: 📌 helping SMEs accept payments, 📌 extending credit to informal businesses, and 📌 making consumer purchases easier through instalments. From littlefish to 4G Capital & Happy Pay, this is less about a successful pitch to investors and more about infrastructure tied to real economic activity. That is what makes this interesting: merchant acquiring, lending, and BNPL are very different plays, but all three sit close to everyday money movement. Total disclosed raise featured here: $16.5 million. Which of these funding bets resonates the most with the challenges you see in your market now you right now? #AfricanFintech #FintechFunding #Payments #Lending #BNPL #SMEs #MerchantAcquiring #ThePaymentLogue
