About Furaha
Credit penetration among retail individuals in most African countries is low given the poor penetration of credit bureaus and evolving maturity of alternate data to build credit footprints for borrowers. Furaha is addressing this by building a microlending platform that enables 'purpose-driven' loans to mass market customers across Africa, starting with Uganda as its first market. Furaha combines market-leading technology with a responsible lending approach, aiming to be a force for good to the individuals and communities it addresses. Furaha is backed by SC Ventures (SCV), the innovation unit of Standard Chartered Bank.
