Empowering Loan Acquisition with Scalable Financial Tools

Empowering Loan Acquisition with Scalable Financial Tools

App & Dashboard Design

eMaisha Pay is a digital finance platform that helps small businesses and entrepreneurs in rural and peri-urban Africa access quick, flexible loans and manage their finances through a smart, user-friendly app. With the app, users can apply for loans, monitor repayment schedules, and gain better financial literacy all from a single dashboard.

Financing Isn’t Inclusive for All

The financial systems in most parts of Africa are difficult to access, especially for small-scale entrepreneurs and farmers. Traditional banking is slow, bureaucratic, and often excludes the very people who need it most. Without collateral or formal credit history, getting a loan can feel impossible. eMaisha Pay is changing that.

Self-service Challenge

1. A dashboard that helps small businesses access credit without going to the bank.

2. A mobile app that empowers users to manage loans and transactions with ease.

3. A tool that helps users grow their financial literacy and track business growth.
