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.
