## About the product

Black Swan is a web-based credit intelligence and open finance platform for African financial institutions and platforms that need to assess real incomes (formal or informal) to extend affordable credit.

Key capabilities include:
- **Decisioning and credit intelligence (Tausi)**, which helps institutions understand how people earn, spend, and repay, so credit decisions can be faster and more accurate.
- **Affordability and open finance (Manka)**, which enables borrowers to **safely share financial activity across institutions with consent**, allowing lenders to assess affordability using real income and spending data.
- **Credit discovery and matching (Kopa Gari, also referenced as Mtaa wa Manka)**, which connects people to lenders for needs such as **phones, vehicles, and equipment**.

These capabilities support credit products including **everyday digital loans**, **embedded credit** (for example at the point of paying school fees), **buy now pay later**, **device/vehicle/asset financing**, and **working capital for MSMEs** linked to sales and cashflows.

Available on **Web**.

Built for **B2B financial service providers** across Africa, including lenders and platforms designing and scaling digital credit.

Notable for its focus on using **spending patterns, cashflows, and financial activity** to assess affordability for both formal and informal earners, with the company listed as based in **Ebene Cybercity, Mauritius**, and references to use by partners such as Selcom, K-Finance Limited, and Kimondo Financial Services.
