Digital and financial inclusion powered by you

smartloans and smartphones to African entrepreneurs

How it works

We evaluate the entrepreneur

by partnering with largest African service providers and small savings groups for assessing entrepreneur's trustworthiness

You lend money or an old phone

on the Aion Sigma platform, which turns it into a collateral for our partnering local smartphone distributors

Entrepreneur leases a phone

from our local partner in Africa on fair and flexible terms

You receive your funds back

with time as the entrepreneur pays for the lease and you get your money back

Green economy,
fair finance and internet for all

- is what we believe in

A smartphone connected to internet is what everyone of us needs for essential civic & cultural participation in today’s digital world.

We’re here to narrow the gap of 75% of Africans unable to afford a smartphone under the current market conditions.
