PremierCredit, a financial technology powerhouse, dedicated to revolutionizing access to credit and investment opportunities in emerging markets within Sub-Saharan Africa has partnered with Airtel Zambia PLC Mobile Commerce (Airtel Money) to provide loans to customers through the Airtel portal.

This strategic alliance signifies a monumental leap toward fostering financial inclusion for all.

Speaking at the launch of the new loan service, PremierCredit Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Malekani said “ the launch of KaFast loan symbolizes a shift towards a future where financial assistance is not a privilege but a fundamental right; where access to credit is not determined by one’s socio-economic status but by the power of inclusion”.

This unprecedented ease of access ensures that financial assistance reaches those in need promptly, without bureaucratic hurdles, setting a new standard for convenience and efficiency in financial services.
