Powering Financial Access in Africa

About us

| OUR MISSION With the move to a digital-first world, most companies are stuck trying to bridge inefficiencies between themselves and their customers. We close the gap with scalable, flexible, and modular technology that enables every company to offer fintech products in a digital ecosystem, ultimately creating a healthy and financially inclusive population. | MORE ABOUT US Companies offering financial services get stuck when trying to build leading fintech products and frictionless solutions due to inflexibility or capacity. This results in consumer frustration, loss of customers and stagnation in the market. We build better fintech ecosystems by equipping our clients with a technology stack that more effectively originates, onboards and enriches consumer journeys. When companies use our technology, they gain confidence in their own solution, using their newfound insights and time to work on other growth areas of their business. | WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? Financial service providers experience enormous inefficiencies when trying to reach consumers in an ever-increasing digital world. Data-driven digital solutions avoid human error and bias, creating a healthy and financially inclusive population.

    We’ve got a lot of buzzwords floating around the Finch office, so we thought - why not turn it into a Finch Word of the Week series? Each week, we’ll share a word tied to the epic work we do, giving you a peek into our world and how we make things happen. Plus, it just might come in handy at your next trivia night. 👏 First up, we’ve got Webhook 👇 At Finch Technologies, we’re all about leveraging technology to create seamless, real-time interactions, and webhooks are a game-changer in making this happen. So, what’s a webhook? 📲 A webhook is a way for one app to deliver information to another app whenever an event occurs – no polling required! Think of it like an automatic notification between systems, ensuring updates are instantly available. For example, instead of continuously asking if a bank statement has been processed, a webhook will alert you the moment the statement has been processed and the transactional data is available for collection. No need to refresh or check manually; it’s all seamless! Why we love webhooks: 💡 They make our solutions faster, more responsive, and incredibly efficient – a must-have for today’s fast-paced, connected world. #FintechWords #Fintech #TechSolutions #Webhooks #API

    While loadshedding might be on the backburner, rising electricity costs certainly aren’t. Add in tax incentives, and it’s no surprise that solar is booming in South Africa. In fact, SA holds over 50% of the continent’s solar capacity, with solar finance providers like Alumo Energy playing a key role in driving this growth. ☀️💸 But what’s our role in this dynamic industry? Understanding a customer’s financial health is crucial for both the solar provider and the customer. Whether it’s rent-to-own or leasing a solar system for a home or business, solar finance providers need fast, cost-effective credit bureau integration. Combine that with ID verification and affordability assessments, and you get a full picture of the customer’s financial standing. As a leader in South Africa’s solar market, Alumo Energy is revolutionising how homes and businesses go green. By partnering with Gathr, Alumo has streamlined its credit assessments and onboarding processes, enabling faster, more accurate financial evaluations. Want to know more?

    Last night was a big one for us - we hosted our first (of many) Tech Leadership events, and it was epic! Our Senior Software Engineer, Dr Stephan Schoeman delivered an invaluable talk to the passionate engineers and tech founders who joined us. He tackled a daunting topic that’s on the minds of many developers: how and when to shift your tech infrastructure 🧑🔧 Stephan shared why we made the leap to migrate our own infrastructure, breaking down the key decision points - whether to hire an in-house developer or work with an outsourced cloud partner. He also covered the critical questions every engineer should ask before taking this step. Stay tuned for the full insights; we'll be publishing them 🔜 We had a fantastic turnout at our new Claremont offices, and of course, no Cape Town meetup would be complete without Devil's Peak Brewing Company (Pty) Ltd and Butler's Pizza 🍕 Huge thanks to Tech Leadership, MoonPay, Peach Payments, Root, and OfferZen for organising and supporting this event. #techsolutions #kubernetes #api #softwaredeveloper #fintech #aws

    Today we're showing a little appreciation to the banks 👏 At the heart of financial inclusion, lies collaboration and standardisation. By working together to create a more accessible banking ecosystem, we can ensure customers have the best access to financial products. One of these elements includes making bank statements easier to read and understand, so that lenders, and those operating in the fintech ecosystem can make more accurate financial assessments. Investec, Nedbank, and Standard Bank Group are excellent examples, having implemented clear, standardised formats for debit and credit columns. This makes it easier for us to seamlessly integrate their statements into our library of templates, improving financial access for all. 💸 Now, imagine what we could achieve if all banks aligned their formats, this would streamline processes, increase accuracy, and open doors for greater financial inclusion. 🌍 #FinancialInclusion #OpenBanking #fintech #SAbanks #bankingInnovation
