ZigWay has created a mobile application and full back office that gives people direct access to affordable Nano Loans via their phones. These are cheap, flexible loans between 5,000ks and 200,000ks that help the economically vulnerable bridge income gaps. Our software is also interoperable, allowing any formal lender or any mobile money provider to connect with low income families.
By making Nano Loans readily available, we can change the power dynamic between the poor and powerbrokers who exploit them, and help stop people from falling into debt traps. Our software also transforms the poor into cost-effective customers for formal lenders.
Our target segment are women aged 18-60 whose households earn up to $300/month. As these women are low adopters of technology, ZigWay has built a hybrid Super-User distribution model. Super-Users are borrowers who are smart phone savvy and can help people sign up for loans and takes care of loan disbursements and repayments via mobile money. Our partners include Yoma Bank, Population Services International and Wave Money.
