The era of moving around from one lender to another shopping for the best loan deal could have come to an end, thanks to a solution by Enabling Finance Limited<\/a> that links borrowers to professional money lenders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dubbed Finablr, the product by the credit finance company seeks to create a platform to serve people who were previously underserved by the traditional finance sector, conveniently, affordably, and safely, according to the founder and Chief Executive Officer Luke Yyeyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe know that majority of Ugandans are unable to qualify for the tier I \u2013 commercial bank loans maybe because the security is inadequate but mostly because they don\u2019t have the other requirements like audited cash flow records. But with Finablr, because we are operating in the tier IV sector, they are able to access credit as long as the collateral one has been qualified against is worth it,\u201d Yyeyo says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, Yyeyo says, the firm also imparts basic financial management skills to its clients such as cash flow management, budgeting, and financial reconciliation, among others, to help them do business better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read About: Everlend Uganda extends digital credit to the excluded category of borrowers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n To access the loan, one only needs to download the Finablr App, set up an account, and submit a loan request, which is then relayed to all the lenders registered on the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One only goes to Enabling Finance offices after receiving an offer that suits them, with terms acceptable to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A borrower can access loans ranging from Shs 100,000 to Shs 20 million, while repeat clients can access up to Shs 50 million. The borrower is also assured to get their money as soon as the loan is approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe give out money that day. Even in the event that the lender is wiring cash using a system that requires two or three working days, our agreement with our lenders is that Enabling Finance releases the money to the borrower as long as a critical stage in the lending process has been passed, and we wait for reimbursement from the lender,\u201d Yyeyo says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike the traditional finance service system that requires experience, he says that with Finablr, even one without any lending experience can sign up unto the system and start lending as the Enabling Finance team manages the entire process on their behalf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe manage the entire process from pre-qualification of borrowers, linking lenders to the borrowers and the repayments systems all the way to the recovery system. So even if you don\u2019t have any experience, or have as little as Shs 100,000; we have products that can enable you to start off as a lender,\u201d Yyeyo notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Enabling Finance links borrowers to loans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
