How it works

Four steps from data to repayment

You share data. Gizo does the pricing, the servicing and the collection. Each step shows in your reports.

Light comes out from a single point

Connect

Send sales and payout data for your merchants through the API. Merchants give consent first.

Fine parallel threads spread out

Price

Gizo uses the data to find eligible merchants. It calculates an amount and a charge for each one, inside the lender's credit policy.

Soft folds catch the light

Accept

The merchant picks an amount and accepts in your product. A partner lender sends the funds.

Two surfaces meet in soft light

Repay

A fixed share of each payout goes to the advance. Repayment stops when the total is paid.

FAQ

Questions platforms ask first

Talk to us

Who funds the advances?

Licensed partner lenders fund every advance. We will name them before launch. The platform does not fund advances and does not carry their credit risk.

Does my platform carry credit risk?

No. If a merchant does not repay, the loss does not go to your platform.

How is the charge set?

Each offer has one charge, set inside the lender's approved product. The merchant sees the charge, the total cost and the APR before they accept.

What does a merchant need?

A merchant needs a sales history on your platform and must give consent to share it. They do not need collateral.

Which countries and currencies?

We plan to start in eleven markets across Africa. Each advance is in the merchant's local currency. The list of planned markets is on this page.

Is Gizo live?
