Software for MFIs and SACCOs

Symba Global provides an integrated, cloud-based platform tailored for microfinance institutions (MFIs) and savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs). Our products are designed to help you manage your operations, improve your efficiency, and maximize your impact.

Loan portfolio management

Our cloud-based microbanking software, built on Apache Fineract, allows you to onboard clients, manage savings and loan accounts, generate payment and collection schedules, and track repayments across your entire portfolio.

Mobile Money

We integrate directly with mobile money providers in your region, so you can disburse loans, collect repayments, and process savings deposits and withdrawals without the need for a third-party integrator.

USSD application

A convenient USSD interface allows borrowers to check their balance, view upcoming payments, and make repayments using any mobile phone. No smartphone or internet connection required.
