Challenges

In microlending, collection rates are the difference between profitability and failure. With thin margins and high-risk lending, Dima Finance faced critical operational challenges that were directly impacting their sustainability:

  • Low collection rates hovering between 60-70%, below industry standards.
  • Need for instant access to payment systems, even when away from the office.
  • Time-sensitive customer demands - microlending customers often need solutions within minutes, not hours.
