- Compuscan established as consumer credit bureau for microlenders.
We are proud of our entrepreneurial roots
Compuscan was founded by Remo Lenisa in 1994. It was established as South Africa’s first credit bureau for the micro finance sector at a time when South Africa was a fledgling democracy.
In the early days, Compuscan was a credit bureau, focused on the micro-lending industry. It enabled micro lenders to avoid financial loss by identifying clients’ repayment probability before issuing a loan. Loans were also registered on a national database, which was a first for the industry.
Following a period of growth and geographical expansion, Compuscan is now a full-service credit bureau and information services provider with an extensive product offering and offices in nine countries in Africa and Asia Pacific.
Our solutions and products add value across the customer life cycle and enable companies to identify, acquire, manage and reward their customers, and educate their workforce.
