15th March, 2024- Yesterday, we were honoured to attend the official launch of the Association of Non-Deposit Taking Microfinance Institutions that took place at Fairway Hotel under the theme: Empowering Youth and Women through Credit Information Sharing.

As Uganda's first and only indigenous CRB, we seek collaborations and partnerships that help us achieve our vision of enabling financial inclusion up to the last mile through credit information sharing.

The Association of Non-Deposit Taking Microfinance Institutions (NDT-MFIs) was founded in August 2022 as a unifying body for NDT-MFIs in Uganda that are regulated by the Uganda Microfinance Regulatory Authority (UMRA).

We believe our partnership with the association offers an immense opportunity for it's member institutions to de-risk their lending businesses by filtering out high risk borrowers while strengthening their ability to serve the low risk borrowers.

Our Mobile Credit Score further offers microfinance institutions a more holistic and inclusive assessment of an individual's creditworthiness, thereby broadening access to credit for previously overlooked demographics such as youth and women, thus fostering a more inclusive financial ecosystem.
