About
Finclusion Group is a Cape Town, South Africa-based credit-led neobank — backed by Y Combinator (W20) with $62 million in total funding including $20 million from Lendable and $40 million in combined debt and equity raises — providing underbanked populations across Sub-Saharan Africa with AI-powered consumer credit, digital savings accounts, and mobile banking services using proprietary credit scoring algorithms that assess creditworthiness for borrowers without formal credit histories. Operating in South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Eswatini, and Namibia with expansion plans for Uganda and Mozambique, Finclusion built a $40 million loan book as of 2022, serving the estimated hundreds of millions of Sub-Saharan Africans excluded from formal financial services. Founded in 2019, Finclusion positions as Africa's first credit-led neobank — leading with credit access rather than the savings account-first model of most African neobanks.
