Microfinance, insurance & mobile money

Process the file in an hour, not in nine days.

What it actually looks like

Files arrive as photographs. Someone downloads them, checks nothing is missing, chases what is, retypes the details, and opens the case days later. Meanwhile a regulator, a partner or a reinsurer is asking questions about controls that were never written down.

Who this is forMicrofinance institutions, insurers and brokers, mobile money operators and agent networks, credit unions.

Where the time goes

  • Document collection is a chase

    Three of the same documents requested over a week, by phone, by a person.

  • The work is forty minutes and the file takes nine days

    Almost all of the elapsed time is waiting and re-entry, not decision-making.

  • Nothing is auditable

    Who saw what, who decided what, on what basis — reconstructed after the fact if at all.

  • AI is arriving without controls

    Institutions here are being sold AI systems with no evaluation, no monitoring and no written rule about what a machine may decide alone.

What we would do about it

  • Document intake that checks as it collects

    AI Agents & Automation →

    Claims, loan files and onboarding packs collected on WhatsApp, checked for completeness and legibility, with the fields extracted from photographs rather than clean scans.

  • First-line customer questions

    AI Agents & Automation →

    Balance, status, requirements and next steps, answered instantly, escalating anything that touches a decision.

  • Evaluation before you trust it

    AI Assurance →

    A test set from your own real cases and a number you can put in front of a board — plus red teaming, because these systems will be attacked.

  • Governance a regulator will accept

    AI Assurance →

    Human-in-the-loop rules, data handling and retention documentation, and an audit trail that stands up to being audited.
