Riskebiz

Riskebiz is a microfinance investment firm and a technology services company. We provide capital and technologies to microfinance institutions (MFIs).

Riskebiz manages a microfinance venture capital fund and provides technical assistance to microfinance institutions. Our technical assistance services include:

- Selection and setup of management information software (MIS);
- Integration of mobile money transfer (MIS) solutions;
- Implementation of microinsurance schemes.

We work with tier 2 and tier 3 microfinance institutions. We also work extensively with technology providers, microfinance funds, insurance companies and social entrepreneurs.

We believe that social impact today is correlated with profitability tomorrow. MFI valuations are not maximized by simply increasing the size of a loan portfolio, especially when it comes at the expense of weak underwriting. This approach jeopardizes the financial stability of microfinance institutions which in turn negatively impacts their valuations.

As a venture capital fund making equity investments, we are looking to work with MFIs to maximize their social impact, as this will most effectively translate into superior financial returns for MFI shareholders through strong, sustainable growth.
