Founded in 2023, Stawi Finance began with a simple mission: to provide accessible financial solutions to individuals and businesses who were underserved by traditional banking institutions.
Our name "Stawi" comes from the Swahili word meaning "to grow" or "to develop," reflecting our commitment to fostering financial growth in our communities.
What started as a small operation with just three employees has grown into a trusted financial institution serving over 50,000 clients across the region. We've disbursed over $75 million in loans, helping entrepreneurs start businesses, students pursue education, and families achieve their dreams.
Our innovative approach to lending, combined with personalized customer service, has earned us recognition as one of the fastest-growing financial service providers in the region.
