Creditinfo & Alternative Circle
Creditinfo Kenya has been instrumental in helping us build our mobile lending platform – Shika, which is a micro-lending app, through assisting us with building our credit rating technology that we use to score our users when giving out loans. They have been extremely helpful partners with a team that is committed, reliable and solution driven. We are glad to be associated with them.
