One core, every lender

The same core — borrowers, loans, repayments, accounting — configured for the way your institution actually lends.

Lender software built around your kind of book

There’s no such thing as a generic lender. A SACCO answers to its members. A microfinance bank answers to a regulator. A money lender answers to the clock. The book you run shapes every decision you make — so the system you run it on shouldn’t pretend you’re all the same.

Plenty of generic systems do exactly that, and our round-up of the best loan management platforms compares them side by side. Lendbox takes the other route: loan management software by lender type. The same core — borrowers, loans, repayments, accounting — but the rules, the language and the day-to-day fit your institution, not a one-size-fits-all template.

So the right place to start is wherever you see yourself below.

Find your kind of lender

Each card opens a page built for that book — its pains, its language, its day-to-day.

Run more than one kind of book — or not sure which fits?

Plenty of lenders straddle two of these — a SACCO that also does asset finance, an MFI growing into a bank. Lendbox runs more than one book on one platform. Pick the page closest to your main business, or just start a trial and we’ll help you set it up around how you actually lend.

Questions lenders ask about loan management solutions

What is loan management software by lender type?

It’s loan management software set up around the kind of lender you are, not a generic template. Lendbox keeps one shared core — borrowers, loans, repayments and accounting — and fits the rules, the language and the day-to-day workflow to your institution, whether you run a SACCO, a microfinance institution or a staff loan scheme.

Which lenders do Lendbox’s loan management solutions cover?

SACCOs and savings cooperatives, credit-only microfinance institutions, licensed deposit-taking microfinance banks, private and commercial money lenders, asset finance companies, group and joint-liability lenders, and employers running staff loan schemes. Each has its own page showing how Lendbox fits that kind of book.

Can one loan management solution handle a SACCO and a microlender?

Yes. Lendbox runs one shared core — borrowers, loans, repayments and accounting — configured differently for each kind of lender. A SACCO runs with member savings, shares and guarantors at the centre; a microlender runs with field officers and portfolio quality at the centre. Same system, set up for your book.

I run more than one kind of lending book — does that work?

It does. Plenty of lenders straddle two of these — a SACCO that also does asset finance, or an MFI growing into a bank. Lendbox can run more than one book in one system, so you don’t need a separate system for each line of business.

Is the lender software different for each lender type, or the same product configured differently?

It’s the same product, configured differently. The core loan engine is shared, but the rules, the language and the day-to-day workflow change to fit your institution — so you’re never forced into a one-size-fits-all template that doesn’t match how you lend.

How do I choose the right loan management solution for my institution?

Start with the lender type that describes your main business — the page will speak to your book, your pains and the way you’d recognise your own work. If you straddle two, pick the closest one, or just start a free trial and we’ll help you set Lendbox up around how you actually lend.
