Case Study Platcorp Mambu.pdf
“Can a legacy African microfinance holding company become the leading pan-African digital credit and impact finance platform by migrating all subsidiaries to a single cloud-native core?”
Founded in 2003 as a traditional microfinance holding company operating on legacy core platforms in East Africa, Platcorp pivoted to cloud-native infrastructure starting in 2014 when it launched greenfield entity Premier Credit on Mambu. The success of Premier Credit demonstrated the efficiency gains of cloud-based lending operations, prompting Platcorp to migrate all legacy subsidiaries to Mambu across six African markets. The company has evolved from a regionally concentrated microfinance funder into a pan-African impact finance group offering business loans, MSME financing, and bundled insurance products, leveraging automation that saves an estimated 100,000 man-hours annually.
