Fintech companies in Africa are increasingly playing in spaces dominated by traditional financial institutions.
One Finance, parent company of Nigerian lending platform Paylater, has secured a credit rating. Global Credit Rating, a leading credit ratings agency in Africa assigned One Finance a “BB” score, following a “rigorous” and “testing” process. It’s the latest step as African fintech companies go mainstream, winning customers and investor conviction along the way.
