MPEX enabling financial inclusion in Africa's Agriculture sector

MPEX, in partnership with DFI's, offer a comprehensive support package, to local banks that are dedicated to expanding financial inclusion in Africa's Agriculture sector, at less cost, and risk.

The MPEX Digital Application, provides a real time communication bridge, for business performance information sharing between all players. Along with auto-generated seasonal loans, and chat tools, all driving down operational costs, and risks.


MPEX solves the biggest challenge to financing

The biggest challenge to financing the Agriculture sector that local banks face is that ALL players – SMEs, local banks and International finance partners operate in their own information silos.

Because International Finance partners and local banks have insufficient information on SME business performance and markets and SMEs are often financially illiterate.
As a result, EVERYONE experiences high credit risks and operational costs.
Our digital solution builds a communications bridge breaking the walls between SMEs, local banks and International finance providers.
