Lendable

Investing for a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Lendable is a pioneering investment manager that provides growth financing to fintech companies across emerging and frontier markets. Since its founding in 2014, the firm has built a strong presence in London, Nairobi, and Singapore, giving it both global reach and deep local connections.

At its core, Lendable exists to solve one of the most pressing challenges in financial inclusion: access to reliable, flexible capital for high-growth fintechs serving the unbanked and underbanked.

By raising funds from global investors and deploying capital to fintech companies on the ground, Lendable creates a bridge between institutional capital and entrepreneurs in underserved economies. These fintechs, in turn, expand access to credit, savings, payments, and other essential financial services—unlocking opportunity for millions of individuals and small businesses who might otherwise be excluded from the formal economy.

Lendable’s approach aligns with our belief that financial return and social impact are not mutually exclusive. Their investment strategy provides competitive yields while driving measurable social outcomes such as increased access to capital, improved financial resilience, and inclusive economic growth. With operations spanning more than 70 countries, Lendable’s reach demonstrates the scale and urgency of this opportunity.

For Access Ventures, the partnership with Lendable represents both a strategic and mission-aligned investment. It diversifies our portfolio with exposure to frontier markets, leverages technology for greater accountability, and embodies our one-pocket approach to investing—where capital is deployed not just for profit, but for human flourishing.
