Crendly has announced the launch of its platform; a market place for loans, noting that it is a credit-risk algorithm and platform that is set to empower Nigerians and their businesses in achieving their financial aspirations.

In a statement, it was noted that by harnessing the power of the company’s proprietary human character-based set of Algorithms, Crendly is democratizing access to credit by making it a reality for a wider segment of the population to access credit in a market where this has been a longstanding issue while also fostering economic and financial inclusion in emerging markets.

The statement revealed that in a country with a population of over 200 million, less than 10percent of Nigerians have access to credit facilities with high interest rates and little or irregular income being the major barriers.

The statement hinted that the AI-driven nature of Crendly’s API would extend new capabilities to financial institutions by adapting and growing with new data.

The statement further explained that the platform would allow them transcend traditional boundaries in credit provision by offering precise, bias-free lending decisions to a diverse range of customers, including those beyond their existing customer base.

The statement added: “The flexibility and autonomy offered by Crendly are based on the premise that borrowers are empowered to define their loan terms or negotiate directly with lenders in the marketplace. This level of control and choice in loan acquisition presents as a significant change from the conventional structures of traditional banking.”

Speaking on the launch of the platform, the Chief Executive Officer, Crendly, Damilare Odueso, stated: “This is more than a technological innovation; it’s a revolution in the concept of trust in finance, empowering everyday Nigerians to become active participants in the lending landscape. This platform uniquely positions everyday Nigerians to participate actively in the lending process; it allows individuals with disposable income become active lenders, offering loans and earning returns.”

Damilare also remarked that Crendly is focused on the democratization of the lending process previously dominated by traditional financial institutions.

He said the platform opens up new avenues for financial growth and community support; it identifies trust as a tool for empowerment, enabling Nigerians to both be beneficiaries and contributors to financial prosperity.

According to the statement, “Crendly is not only providing a solution to the credit gap in Nigeria; it is revolutionizing the role of individuals in the financial ecosystem. Give loans or take loans, Crendly goes beyond making credit equally accessible for everyone, everywhere.

“It is a community that connects borrowers and lenders, by following strong ethical and credit principles to help both parties reach their financial goals.
