Services

Three core services. One credit platform.

Each service is scored, delivered and reconciled through the Credoks platform. Once a partner is live on one, adding the next is a configuration change — not a new integration project.

Core service

Airtime & Data Advance

Subscribers obtain airtime, data, or voice minutes the moment their balance hits zero — repaid automatically on the next top-up. Credit risk sits with the service, not the network.

Mobile Micro-Lending

Real cash micro-loans disbursed straight to mobile wallets or bank accounts — instant approval, no paperwork, no branch visit, automated collection.

Core service · New

SalaryNOW Earned Wage Access

Salaried employees draw wages they have already earned, any day of the month, for a fixed fee — inside the bank app or wallet. Not a loan, no interest.

Platform capabilities

Credit Scoring & Decisioning

Value-added services Credoks also operates the Call Signature Service for mobile operators — a subscription VAS that lets callers present a personalised message before the call connects.

Financial ACCESS for All.

Most people excluded from credit are not un-creditworthy — they are un-scored. We use the data people already generate to open doors that paperwork keeps closed.

How it works

Four steps from integration to repayment

Connect

The platform integrates with the operator's or lender's core systems — charging, wallet, and CRM.

Score

Every request is scored in real time from usage, recharge, and transaction behaviour.

Deliver

Advances, loans, and premium services reach the customer over SMS, USSD, IVR, or wallet.

Collect

Recovery runs automatically on top-up or schedule, with full reconciliation back to the partner.

Who we serve

Built for every partner type

Mobile operators

New revenue from advances, premium VAS, and real-time charging — with credit risk carried by the service, not the network.

Banks & MFIs

Score and serve customers who have no bureau file — micro-loans, BNPL, and earned wage access under your own licence.

Wallet operators

Embedded credit and advance products that raise wallet activity and keep balances moving.
