Transforming lives, championing financial inclusion, shaping the future of fintech

In today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape, Tala has emerged as a beacon of hope and empowerment for millions in Kenya, The Philippines, Mexico and India.

As a leading financial technology company, Tala is dedicated to providing underserved populations with the financial tools they need to improve their lives. Our commitment to financial inclusion and innovation has not only transformed the lives of our customers but also positioned Tala at the forefront of the fintech revolution.

Tala’s mission is to “Unleash the economic power of the Global Majority”. At Tala, we use the term Global Majority to describe the portion of the world’s population who, while having trillions of dollars in economic power, have historically been excluded from accessing financial services.

With over 8.5 million customers worldwide, we have seen first-hand the profound impact our services have on individuals and communities. By leveraging advanced data science and machine learning, Tala offers personalised financial solutions that cater for the unique needs of each customer.

Our mobile app provides quick and easy access to loans, enabling users to cover unexpected expenses like medical fees; start and grow their ‘side hustles’, and achieve their personal goals.

For example, Jane Mwangi, who lost her business at the peak of Covid-19, used loans from Tala to rebuild and eventually expand her enterprise. She is now able to generate regular profits and save for unexpected emergencies. Stories like Jane’s are a testament to the transformative power of financial inclusion.

At Tala, we believe that financial inclusion is not just a goal but a fundamental right. Legacy financial institutions often exclude individuals who lack credit histories or collateral. Tala bridges this gap by using alternative data points, such as mobile money usage and social network activity to assess creditworthiness. This innovative approach has enabled us to extend credit to millions who would otherwise be denied access.

In addition to providing credit, Tala is committed to promoting financial literacy. Our platform offers educational resources that help customers manage their finances, save effectively, and make informed financial decisions. By empowering our users with knowledge, we are fostering a culture of responsible borrowing and financial resilience.

The fintech industry is at the cusp of a revolution, and Tala is proud to be a trailblazer in this space. Our vision for the future includes expanding our range of financial products and services to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We are exploring partnerships with other fintech innovators and ecosystem players to bring more comprehensive solutions to our users.

Moreover, Tala is investing in cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain and AI (artificial intelligence) to enhance our platform’s security, efficiency, and user experience. These advancements will enable us to offer even more reliable and accessible financial services, further solidifying our role as a leader in the fintech industry in Kenya and beyond.

Sustainability is also at the heart of Tala’s growth strategy, and we are dedicated to creating long-term value for our customers, employees, and stakeholders. By prioritising social impact alongside financial performance, we are building a business that not only thrives but also contributes positively to society.

Our efforts to promote financial inclusion and empower underserved communities align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By driving economic growth and reducing economic inequality, Tala is playing a crucial role in building a more inclusive and sustainable world.

Tala’s journey is one of innovation, inclusion, and impact. As we continue to expand our reach globally and enhance our product offerings, our commitment to improving lives and promoting financial inclusion remains unwavering. We are excited about the future of fintech and the endless possibilities it holds for creating a more equitable financial system.

For millions of people around the world, Tala is more than just a financial service provider. We are a lifeline, a partner, and a catalyst for positive change. Together, we are shaping a brighter future where financial opportunities are accessible to all.
