About us

Creditinfo West Africa

We are actively involved in steering Africa’s business, structure and strategic management, with the aim of increasing the stability of the African financial system and stimulating investment and financial inclusion, in order to create an environment in which African banks can provide the necessary services for all borrowers, ranging from small businesses to micro enterprises.

The private sector in Africa plays a key role in improving financial inclusion and providing the financial infrastructure necessary for sustained economic growth. Creditinfo will develop an advanced system that will be an integral part of Africa’s financial infrastructure by providing high quality credit information for the financial sector.

Through the exchange of information, credit reporting systems can be established, enabling financial systems to use relevant information to offer credit on an objective basis. This results in lower risk and costs for the creditor and increased economic opportunities for SMEs and individuals, especially those at the bottom of the financial pyramid.
