ABOUT FIDO

We are changing the way financial services are provided in developing markets

ORIGIN

Founded in 2016, Fido began as a consumer
lender in Tanzania with first of its kind
mobile technology and risk platform. Access
to credit continues to be a challenge in
developing markets, where financial history
is not widely available for the borrowers who
need it the most. Today, Fido operates
around the African continent to bring fast,
reliable and easy financial services to the
underbanked.
ORIGIN

MISSION

to the underbanked through
technology, anytime, anywhere.

PROBLEM

Consumers in developing markets don’t have convenient or efficient access to credit.

Combined with reliance on informal or semi-formal employment sectors, consumers remain under-served by legacy financial institutions and miss the opportunity to build financial history.
