Risk intelligence for
African financial institutions.

Regional banks, microfinance institutions, and payment providers face unique data challenges. Fragmented loan portfolios, disconnected agent networks, and manual reconciliation workflows create operational risk and limit growth.

The data problem

Fragmentation at financial scale.

African financial institutions operate across disconnected systems. Core banking doesn't talk to mobile money platforms. Agent reporting arrives via WhatsApp and spreadsheets. Risk assessment happens manually with incomplete data. The result: operational blind spots, slower decision-making, and increased regulatory risk.

Disconnected loan portfolios

Loan data scattered across core banking, mobile money, and manual records. No single source of truth.

Manual risk assessment

Credit decisions made with incomplete data. No real-time visibility into portfolio health.

Compliance reporting burden

Regulatory reports compiled manually from multiple systems. High error risk and significant time investment.

The solution

Designed for financial services.

Forge's DIL unifies data across core banking, mobile money, and agent networks. REOL provides AI-powered risk assessment with full explainability. SEL automates loan processing workflows while maintaining human oversight for credit decisions.

Deployment concept

What a Forge deployment looks like.

A regional bank with 15 branches and a mobile money partner deploys Forge to unify loan operations. Here's how the transformation unfolds across the loan lifecycle.

Application intake
BeforeCustomers apply at branches or via mobile app. Data entered into separate systems.
After ForgeUnified application pipeline. DIL normalizes data from all channels into single loan queue.
Credit assessment
BeforeLoan officers apply manual criteria. Decisions vary by branch and officer.
After ForgeREOL applies consistent risk logic with human review for exceptions. Real-time portfolio visibility.
Approval workflow
BeforePaper forms move between desks. Status tracked via spreadsheets and phone calls.
After ForgeSEL manages approval workflow with automatic escalation. Real-time status for customers and staff.
Disbursement
BeforeManual entry into core banking and mobile money systems. Reconciliation errors common.
After ForgeAutomatic disbursement to customer's preferred channel. Instant reconciliation and audit trail.
Monitoring
BeforeMonthly portfolio reviews. Problems discovered weeks after they occur.
After ForgeReal-time portfolio monitoring with automatic anomaly detection. Proactive risk alerts.
