About Oakam
At Oakam, we create a brighter future for those who are financially excluded.
Oakam is a digital micro-lender helping underbanked, overlooked, individuals onto and up the credit ladder. We believe that the credit industry is not suitable for individuals needing to access vital funds allowing them to enhance or improve their credit score.
How Oakam works
Our story started in 2006 when our founder Frederic Nze recognized the need to create more inclusive, affordable and suitable credit options for individuals overlooked by traditional financial service providers. We challenge the status quo for consumers needing credit powered by a smartphone. Our digital, data-rich approach to micro-lending enables a customized and inclusive credit scoring making credit more affordable those who need it most.
