We are reinventing access
to purchasing debt in Africa
Unfortunately, majority of Africans still don’t have a smartphone to install an app or a computer to apply online, and can’t apply for a loan with a company outside Africa which could perhaps offer them a better rate. Foreign lenders can’t start lending in Africa directly unless they receive a local license and comply with other onerous requirements.
The MZ fills this gap connecting foreign debt purchasers and local lenders – you can bid per application submitted to our auction platform by a local licensed company. You can rely on the scoring provided by the local company or do your scoring.
We are better than anyone else because we help you purchase debt with the highest possible rate above your minimums.
All applications appearing on the platform have:
KYC Passed
Checked by a local licensed
agent, ID & Proof of address
are confirmed.
Paperwork Done
Signed and verified
by a local licensed lender
or partner.
Credit Score
Based on national or local credit score or other credit history extracted from local sources.
Transaction History
Each application is accompanied by mobile money or account history for the last few months.

"Our goal is to bring better-priced financing to places which have difficulties in accessing it, such as low-income, off-grid households. At Money Zebra we want to make an impact and bring change to the world. "
Our Lenders
BOTH BANKING AND ALTERNATIVE LENDERS
We are working with a wide set of local players – banks, financial institutions, mobile money providers, local moneylenders and all kinds of alternative lenders operating in microfinance space who service underbanked consumers. They too will be ranked and rated on our platform according to their status, capital, and creditworthiness. However, we aim to focus more on alternative lenders because they are the ones who mainly serve our target population of underbanked consumers and they are the ones who are desperate for access to cheaper financing. The alternative lender market is expected to reach £100 billion in 5 years. This is the opportunity to make an impact in Africa providing accessible credit to millions of people and small businesses.
