In one business day in South Africa…

In one business day in South Africa...

We pride ourselves as one of a new breed of digital-first fintech companies designed from the ground up to support South African SMEs. We’ve spent countless hours refining our scoring technology to ensure we can provide quick, easy short-term funding through a convenient online interface. We are able to provide approval on a funding application within a single day – a far cry from the three-month wait most traditional lenders demand.

This got us thinking: what happens on a typical business day? What are some of the main business activities that play out in the time it takes us to process and approve a funding application?

Here are some of the amazing things that take place on an average working day:

  • 8 million people get ready for work at 650 000 SMEs across the country
  • 683 new SMEs are established
  • 868 new SME jobs are created
  • R11 billion in economic value is created
  • 15 million minibus commuter trips take place
  • 6 million people order coffee from an independent coffee shop
  • R101 million is spent on online transactions
  • 8 billion emails are sent and received
