Pressure points

Key challenges for microfinance agents

Field lending has tight cycles and complex verification needs. Automation reduces friction at scale.

Scattered enquiries

Leads come from camps, referrals and branches with no single intake point.

Document delays

Missing KYC and proofs slow down sanction and disbursement.

Collection inconsistency

Manual reminders and missed visits cause irregular repayments.

Repeated borrower queries

Borrowers need status updates on documents, payments and meetings.

Unstandardized field checks

Appraisal quality varies across agents and geographies.

Compliance and audit expectations

Regulators require traceable visit logs and document trails.
