À propos

4G Capital has supported micro-enterprises in Africa since 2013, providing financial literacy training with working capital loans to help small businesses grow sustainably. 4G Capital clients receive a bespoke programme of business training to help them use micro-loans to achieve much higher take-home earnings. 4G Capital’s proprietorial machine learning technology delivers high fidelity insights from traditionally data dark sectors. We design scalable credit products and services optimized for clients’ business risks, timescales and affordability. Training is delivered via mobile apps and face-to-face outreach. Using only mobile money, loans are accessed in under two minutes with either smart or feature phones. Our Story 4G Capital seeks to address the Finance Gap across Africa. This stands at over $19 billion for Micro and SMEs in Kenya alone (source: IFC), even though this important segment accounts for over 30% of GDP. It is almost impossible for these companies to access credit without high collateral and data requirements. Over 30% of small businesses fail due to lack of funding. 4G Capital consistently achieves very high collections rates without collateral or refinancing its clients, by only lending to viable businesses on terms that are right for them. 4G Capital has impacted over 1.8 million people by the start of 2022. With operations in Kenya and Uganda, and having received multiple industry awards, 4G Capital is now scaling across the continent and expanding its suite of products and services as Africa’s Fastest Fintech. Key achievements to date: · >94% collection rates without refinancing clients · Net Promoter Score 83 · Clients increase revenues by average 82% · 81% Women Customers · 84% Repeat Customers · 77% Rural Clients · 94% Increased financial literacy · $213m worth of loans to date · 133 locations in Kenya and Uganda combined

  I had the privilege of attending the Financial Times Africa Summit 2025 in London this week, a powerful two-day gathering of policymakers, investors, business leaders and development strategists focused on Africa’s next chapter.  Three key take-aways that I believe point to where the real momentum lies: 1) Blended finance must evolve beyond the familiar models. As Leslie Maasdorp from British International Investment and Samuel Munzele Maimbo from The World Bank emphasised, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We must pair patient, flexible capital with innovation and strategic partnerships, especially between governments and the private sector, if we are to unlock the estimated $4 trillion of capital locked in across the continent. This means designing capital that is willing to take longer horizons, tolerate higher risk, and partner for shared advantages. I left thinking: the future of development finance is less about “one model” and more about moulding the right model for the right country, the right sector, the right moment, with the right collaboration. 2) Banks and fintechs: collaboration, not competition. A striking figure: over 50% of the world's mobile wallets are in Africa (yet 90% of transactions across the continent are still cash-based), noted Mark Elliott. Fragmentation between traditional banks and agile fintechs is slowing progress on financial inclusion. The micro-financing gap across African markets can be addressed more effectively if fintechs and banks align rather than operate in silos, noted Wayne Hennessy-Barrett, founder of 4G Capital. Banks can benefit from fintechs’ speed and innovation, while fintechs can gain from banks’ regulatory frameworks and market credibility. The result: more inclusive access, lower cost, and faster growth. 3) With South Africa hosting G20 in 2025, a turning-point for Africa’s global influence? The summit captured a sense of urgency and optimism: in a world where USAID cuts, western aid retrenchment and shifting US trade policy (including pressures on AGOA) are real, African countries have an opportunity to reposition and take the lead. South Africa (under G20 presidency) could set the tone, shifting from being a recipient of development to a driver of agenda-setting. Could this mean deeper partnerships with Europe, greater focus on leveraging commodities and gold to crowd in investment, and rethinking currency/finance frameworks to attract lower-cost capital into the continent? My final thoughts: Africa is at a genuine inflexion point. With dynamic youth populations, mobile-first economies, rich natural resources and fast-evolving digital ecosystems, the building blocks are there. Unlocking this potential will require: smarter capital (not just more capital); better public-private collaboration; and an independent voice for African countries on the global stage. #FTLive #Africa #Development #Fintech #Sustainability #Financialtimes #developmentfinance

  🌍 Designing Life Outside the Comfort Zone: Camila’s Lunch & Learn One thing our Chief Product Officer Camila Diaz C. made clear from the start: growth begins where comfort ends. A self-described nomad, Camila has lived and worked across many cities, including Bogotá, Jerusalem, Sydney, Madrid among others. Her journey is powered by curiosity, movement, and a refusal to stay still. For her, adaptability isn’t a skill, it’s a lifestyle. 🎨 Design as a mindset Design goes far beyond a job title for Camila. It’s how she approaches everything, from digital products to business strategy. A reminder that design thinking can solve problems across multiple dimensions, from customer needs to organisational complexity. 🚀 Redefining success Cami challenged traditional ideas of leadership. You don’t need a perfect résumé or elite institutions to lead boldly. Drive, risk-taking, and curiosity can take you just as far. 🔍 Curiosity fuels growth Her ability to learn, reframe, and see things differently continues to push her to the next level. More than a session, this was a reminder that bold careers are built by those willing to experiment, question the rules, and be unapologetically themselves. Special shout out to Caroline .M. Njeru for the cordination and making this session a success!
