At Lendsqr, we constantly contemplate on the possibility of providing every African with loan access precisely when it's required. In developed countries, remarkable stories of success are often rooted in citizens having access to loans for things like education, first homes, credit cards, and even mobile phones.


Over the last few years, Lendsqr has been revolutionizing how everyone can get loans easily by helping lenders with the technology, data, and services they need to launch their digital lending at scale.


Top digital lenders like Kredi Bank, Urgent10k, Irorun, and even Sterling Bank now depend on Lendsqr to power their lending systems.


But we cannot do all these without committed and incredibly smart people who share the same passion and vision for Africa. We need you. Join us!
