OBJECTIVE 2023

To use Data & Mobile Tech to enable 3Million Low Income Earners (Farmers and Traders) To access products and services (Medical services, tractor hire services, improved seed & Groceries) on credit.

THE PERSPECTIVE

Over 80% of the Ugandan workforce relies on agriculture from their livelihood, yet those involved in the sector struggle to increase their production and productivity due to limited access to credit services. Credit is a key catalyst to production, yet less than 10% of the commercial bank credit is channeled towards the agricultural sector. The commercial banks have sighted lending to farmers as risky, due to lack of collateral and financial history to facilitate credit. According to the Uganda Demand analysis Report by MANAGE, it is indicated that 99.4% of smallholder farmers in Uganda use traditional, rudimentary and obsolete technologies and methodologies for farm operations which practices have contributed to low farm output.

OUR PLEDGE

We are committed to catalyzing a new wave of prosperity, the wave that will bring greater economic and social progress among low income earners. Financial services are central to the lives of Humans. It allows Peopke and communities to participate in the economy, access services, seize opportunities, build resilience, and pursue their dreams.

OUR APPROACH

Unlike other financial service providers who rely on financial information to issue cash credit to farmers, at Akellobanker, we use data-enabled mobile technologies to offer products and services on credit. The platform is USSD, SMS & mobile money driven and utilizes credit scores as a basis for instant credit underwriting to borrowers. This makes us Inclusive, Accessible & Convenient.

Our unique delivery channels which include partnerships with the rural financial service providers, specifically SACCOS and merchants such as seed service providers, tractor providers and medical providers who are established in the community make us stronger. These service providers are key in enabling us to profile users, manage credit and conduct digital literacy. This helps in easing access, usage and uptake of the platform hence reducing transaction time, reducing the credit risk rate and risks associated with falsified data/credit scores from self-assessment.
