Curiosity does not kill here - it elevates. We encourage curious minds and consistently strive to expand our knowledge to extraordinary lengths. We never stop learning.
Over the years, Moneda has been at the forefront of reshaping Africa’s credit landscape, providing alternative financing solutions to SMEs operating in critical sectors across the continent. What began as a simple yet powerful mission to provide alternative credit and execution expertise to critical SMEs has evolved into a dynamic force for economic change, empowerment, and sustainable growth. Our journey has been nothing short of transformative, not only for the businesses we support but for the African economy at large.
In 2014, Africa’s economy was rocked by the sharp decline in global commodity prices. The crash exposed a systemic issue: while Africa sat on vast natural resources, its local contractors were left unable to access the capital they needed to execute major contracts. Faced with liquidity crises, many African SMEs, despite having profitable contracts, found themselves unable to fulfill their potential.
Moneda was born to solve this very problem. We set out with a singular purpose: to provide alternative credit solutions and execution expertise to Africa’s critical value chains, ensuring that local contractors could access the capital they needed to scale and thrive. By addressing these financing gaps, we began the process of transforming Africa’s natural resources into wealth that remains in the hands of Africans.
For 9+ years, Moneda has been at the heart of a series of pioneering initiatives that have empowered SMEs, created jobs, and contributed to Africa’s sustainable development. Our journey is defined by achievements that not only reflect our ability to innovate but also demonstrate the tangible impact we have had on the continent.
$150 Million in Trade Volumes and Zero Defaults
Since 2015, Moneda has documented over $150 million in trade volumes, financing countless across industries such as energy, agriculture, oil and gas and FMCG. More than just a number, those figures represent that trust placed in businesses in our quest to be the leading SME financing platform on the continent that offers value-added services and world-bringing this model of risk-sharing and peer evaluation has resulted in zero defaults in documented cases are testament to the credit underwriting the success of our approach.
