Carbon Finance beginnings and Mambu partnership

Carbon Finance, a company that debuted as a lending platform in Nigeria, was founded in 2012. Carbon selected Mambu’s cloud-native banking platform for the ability to scale and in order to disburse instant loans.

In 2020 Carbon received a banking license and transitioned into a full-service bank. Mambu’s API-enabled composable technology allowed Carbon to build daily banking services and e-wallets through partner integrations. According to IBS Intelligence, the microfinance bank now offers a zero-fee account, instant loans, free money transfers, savings, and investment options at market-leading rates, and simplifies payments like airtime and bill payments.

Mambu partnerships in 2022 and global expansion strategies

Mambu worked this year on strengthening its product offering through partnerships such as the one with Visa, announced in July 2022. The partnership allows Mambu customers to benefit from a seamless connection to Visa VPS for end-to-end card issuing and processing. As per the agreement, institutions can create unique customer payment card experiences on Mambu, regardless of whether it is a deposit or loan account. They can also leverage Visa’s processing capabilities to deploy new products and solutions. 

Mambu had previously signed a strategic partnership with cross-currency money movement Western Union in June, to integrate its solution into the Western Union’s real time multi-currency digital wallet and digital banking platform in Europe. 

In May 2022, alternative finance provider for small and medium-sized SMEs ThinCats selected Mambu’s cloud banking technology platform to scale at pace and expand its SME lending offering.
