In Africa, 8 out of 10 consumers struggle to find sustainable credit options, unlike in developed economies like the UK, the US, and Canada, where 8 out of 10 people have access to at least one credit card.
MAXIM is breaking down barriers by introducing the first non-bank credit card for African consumers, ushering in a new era of prosperity for African consumers.
This credit card will come with consumer-friendly perks such as low to zero interest rates, revolving credit, and flexible repayment plans.
Congrats on the launch! This is a significant step for financial inclusivity in Africa. How do you plan to handle the potential challenges of credit risk in markets with limited credit histories? Would love to hear more about your strategies.
@kyrylosilin Thank you so much! We're really excited about this launch and its potential to enhance financial inclusivity across Africa. We know that handling credit risk in markets with limited credit histories can be tough, but we have several strategies in place to tackle this.
On the technology side, we're using a comprehensive data stack that pulls information from multiple credible institutional and non-institutional sources like credit bureaus, telco data, open banking, etc. Our AI-powered decision engine then analyzes this data to accurately assess creditworthiness. It looks at both historical and real-time data to determine eligibility and set appropriate credit limits based on predefined rules.
This data stack is just one part of the strong technology infrastructure we've built to improve the credit landscape. You can learn more about our 4-in-1 technology infrastructure on our website: trymaxim.com. These tech solutions, along with other strategies, help us manage and reduce risk in a volatile ecosystem while supporting consumers in building healthy credit and financial habits, which in turn lowers the risk to our business.
