Story Highlights
  • For banking data, most microfinance banks access data by either requesting a PDF statement and then manually accessing that statement, or they can plug into the likes of Mono [a banking platform for businesses] and access transaction data. With the latter option, they only have access to the data, so they still have to assess customers’ creditworthiness.

Creditchek has just announced the latest closure of their funding round. In a LinkdeIn post by Kingsley Ibe, the co-founder at Creditchek. The round was led by Atom Capital with participation from Aidi Ventures, Emmanuel Gbolade of Termii, Ham Serunjogi of Chippercash, Olumide Ogunsanwo of Adamantium Fund, Damola Adegboyega of Assembly Investors, Isaac Ewaleifoh of Launch Africa Ventures and Ogundiran Kayode.
