What is Ansar Digital Finance?

Ansar represents Ethiopia’s pioneering Sharia-compliant digital financing solution, utilizing state-of-the-art AI technology. This innovative platform offers both individuals and businesses access to financial services through an innovative digital credit evaluation system, delivering a secure, swift, and fully digitized financing application experience with convenient repayment options.

The Need for Ansar

Ethiopia’s financial landscape faces challenges in effectively evaluating MSME creditworthiness without traditional guarantees. Many micro, small, and medium enterprises struggle to access bank financing due to insufficient collateral assets, technological limitations, and digital connectivity barriers. Ansar bridges this gap by enabling financial institutions to serve MSMEs without requiring collateral, transforming weeks of waiting into minutes of processing.
