About the Firm

Access to credit in Africa takes too long; even if you can get it, it takes an average of 90 days. So individuals and companies in Nigeria are credit-starved.

Launched in January 2020 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, GWCU Holdings uses proprietary technology incorporating psychometrics and artificial intelligence to adjudicate risk in regions of the world where credit is underutilized and unavailable.

We allow people in rural Africa, particularly women, the ability to access sustainable credit that is specifically tailored to their needs while strengthening the local financial markets by providing reliable credit scoring. Using our proprietary technology, our default rate was less than 1%

The service is available as a smartphone app and as a chatbot (on the whatsapp platform, amongst others). Borrowers can borrow up to $5000 in less than a minute. It’s easy, easily accessible, instant and convenient.

Growth in credit availability and use is expected and projected to move upward
