Oradian services over 10 million banking customers, working with more than 50 tech lenders, banks and financing companies in 13 countries across Africa and Asia. Their solution enables customers to manage their bank accounts, transact 24/7, make investments, and access appropriate finance; it is tailored to the needs of developing markets.
FairMoney has chosen Oradian for its ability to incorporate solutions to these market challenges into their architecture. Moreover, for the ability to support FairMoney’s business, credit assessment abilities, and product innovation. Another reason for the collaboration is represented by the ‘plug and play’ nature of Oradian’s solution, which requires little core backend investment.
FairMoney has recently launched a new product designed to meet the savings needs of its customers. FairSave is a product that instantly rewards customers for saving their money on the FairMoney app.
The move comes as a response to the growing demand from Nigerians for a more flexible savings platform that gives them full control of their money while seeing it grow. FairSave is a FairMoney savings wallet that allows its users to save money and accumulate interest daily. With FairSave, users get up to 10% interest Per Annum on their savings. Unlike other platforms, users can withdraw their interest and principal anytime they feel like without penalties. Asides from being safe, secured and guaranteed, saving with FairSave also helps customers build a high credit score which helps increase their chances of getting higher loans at lower interest rates.
These new offering came after the 2021 USD 42 million Series B raise aiming to diversify its offerings and expand to ‘become the financial hub for its users.
These markets present a unique set of challenges – including the need for compliant financial products tailored to local regulations, the ability to operate within low-bandwidth environments and fast scaling needs as well as uninterrupted availability.
