Jeff's why and how

While working in fintechs that operate in 30+ markets, we noticed that most loan applicants in South East Asia were rejected because lenders didn’t have enough data on them.

For us, data equals trust and opportunity. And we knew that we could use our expertise to accurately measure creditworthiness using alternative data. So, we decided to build a financial super app to unlock financial services for the underbanked across Southeast Asia, and for the forward-thinking businesses that serve them. The result is Jeff.

Milestones

Behind Jeff’s success lies a financial comparison mechanism that bridges consumers and providers. Tapping into the habits of mobile-first users in SEA, we accumulate alternative data and build a composite credit score, unlocking more services for each user as we help them build their creditworthiness. Having successfully serviced more than 8 million people in South-East Asian markets, we have our eyes set on the broader region.
