Engine 2: Smart Device Financing

  • Credit Risk Algorithms

    Proprietary vetting processes tailored for unbanked demographics.

  • Device-Lock Technology

    Secure remote locking capabilities to ensure payment compliance.

  • Micro-Installments

    Flexible daily or weekly mobile money payments.

  • Credit History Building

    Enabling consumers to build verifiable financial profiles.

FINANCING INNOVATION

Bridging the
affordability gap.

In markets like Somalia, upfront cash purchases present a significant barrier to digital inclusion. Our Smart Device Financing model removes this barrier by allowing consumers to purchase premium smartphones on credit.

By integrating OEM device-lock technologies with local mobile money platforms (like EVC Plus), we mitigate default risks while providing life-changing access to the digital economy for thousands of previously unbanked individuals.
