Why Now?

The $32.2 Billion Problem

Nigerian microfinance banks still process loans on spreadsheets and WhatsApp chats. Loan officers manually verify identities, chase documents, and send payment reminders one by one. The result: 14-day approval cycles, 40% application drop-off, and compliance nightmares.

Our Mission

Built for African Fintech Scale

ShadowSpark was founded to solve a critical infrastructure gap: African lenders still process loans on spreadsheets and WhatsApp chats. We built the AI Operating System that automates intake, verifies identities in seconds, and ensures every disbursement meets CBN and NDPA standards.

From microfinance banks in Lagos to digital lenders in Nairobi, ShadowSpark is the infrastructure layer powering the next generation of African credit.

The Problem

$32.2 billion

Unmet MSME credit demand across Nigeria alone. Lenders still rely on spreadsheets, manual follow-ups, and disconnected WhatsApp chats.

The Solution

From WhatsApp-native intake and instant KYC to regulatory compliance and intelligent recovery — one platform layer for the entire loan lifecycle.

The Traction

Modeled production workflows show loan processing compressed from days to minutes, with immutable audit trails for every decision.
