Lendable
Investing for a more inclusive and sustainable future
Lendable is a technology-enabled investment platform that provides asset-backed debt to fintech companies across emerging and frontier markets. Our investment carries the same conviction across borders that guides our work at home: capital deployed not just for profit, but for human flourishing.
Why We Invested
The gap between capable borrowers and reliable credit is not unique to the U.S., it is global, and in emerging and frontier markets it is even wider. Millions of individuals and small businesses are ready to build, but the formal financial system can't reach or won't serve them.
Lendable was built to bridge that gap. It raises capital from global investors and deploys it as growth financing to fintechs on the ground, lenders expanding access to credit, savings, payments, and other essential services in markets where that access is scarce. For us, backing Lendable does three things at once: it diversifies our portfolio with exposure to frontier markets, it leverages technology for greater accountability and transparency, and it embodies one-pocket investing at a global scale.
Asset-backed debt that helps fintechs extend fair financial services across emerging and frontier markets.

What Lendable Does
Lendable sits at the nexus of returns and impact, providing asset-backed debt to the real economy. It connects institutional capital with entrepreneurs in underserved economies, giving high-growth fintechs the reliable, flexible financing they need to scale responsibly and giving global investors credible access to a hard-to-reach asset class.
Underpinning it all is Maestro, Lendable's proprietary data platform for understanding risk and impact. Maestro provides real-time, verifiable insight into borrower portfolios, revenue, and outcomes, a turnkey engine for integrations, analytics, and reporting that lets capital be both disciplined and accountable.
Scale and Impact
Founded in 2014, Lendable operates from offices in London, Nairobi, Singapore, Buenos Aires, and Johannesburg, combining world-class expertise with on-the-ground origination teams. Today it has:

Lendable's impact discipline is anchored to leading global benchmarks, the IFC Operating Principles for Impact Management, the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, and the GIIN's IRIS+ metrics — and it is a signatory of the Responsible Finance Forum. In 2026, its seventh consecutive year on the ImpactAssets 50, Lendable was recognized in the list's Emeritus category, honoring managers who have consistently generated positive impact over time.
Why It Matters To Us
Lendable extends our financial-inclusion thesis beyond our borders. It proves that patient, well-structured, data-driven credit can widen economic participation anywhere, turning global capital into real opportunity for households and small businesses that traditional finance overlooks. That is one-pocket investing without a passport.
