Problem
Traditional banking infrastructure in Tanzania excludes large segments of the population, including women, youth, farmers, and informal entrepreneurs, who lack formal credit histories and collateral. These individuals need access to small, short-term working capital but cannot obtain it through conventional financial institutions.
Solution
Xodus provides microcredit at scale through Vodacom M-Pesa, Tanzania's leading mobile money network, delivering short-term, real-time loans directly into mobile wallets. The company combines automated underwriting, daily loan cycles, and embedded collections infrastructure to recycle capital efficiently, with regulatory oversight by the Bank of Tanzania. Its AI-powered scoring engine assesses risk using mobile data rather than formal credit histories, enabling safe lending to previously excluded populations. With short 30-day loan cycles, capital is continuously reinvested to expand access and economic participation across the country.
Target Audience
Primary customers are women, youth, farmers, and informal entrepreneurs across Tanzania who lack access to traditional banking services, with 70% of borrowers being women and 50% under 30 years old.
