Credable, the Fintech Behind $650 million in African Loans Rebrands to _able
Credable has announced its rebrand to _able, reflecting the company’s evolution from credit enablement to a broader financial infrastructure platform that acts as the operating layer for capital providers and distribution partners across emerging markets.
The company builds the infrastructure that enables banks, mobile money operators, fintechs, marketplaces and other digital platforms to deploy credit, savings and other financial products at scale.
Today, _able supports the full financial services lifecycle through a combination of infrastructure, intelligence, and portfolio management capabilities.
Headquartered in Dubai, with an operational hub in Nairobi, a market and innovation hub in Dar es Salaam and a technology and intelligence hub in Pune, _able supports partners across multiple markets throughout Africa.
The rebrand comes as the company expands its role within the financial ecosystem.
“Over time, it became clear that our role was no longer simply about determining who is credible,” said Nadeem Juma, Co-Founder and CEO of _able. “It was about building the infrastructure that enables financial access at scale.”
The company works with both capital providers and distribution platforms. On one side, banks, DFIs, credit funds and institutional investors deploy capital into managed digital credit portfolios.
On the other, mobile money operators, fintechs, marketplaces, card issuers and financial institutions use the platform to embed financial services directly into existing customer journeys.
The new name reflects this broader role.
Credable was derived from the concept of belief and trust, foundational ideas that remain central to the business today. The name _able reflects what comes next: enabling action. It represents the infrastructure, intelligence and partnerships required to make financial access possible for more people, more businesses and more markets.
The underscore symbolises the foundation— that sits between capital and distribution, infrastructure and partners, access and outcomes. It reflects how the platform operates: embedded, aligned and designed to support entire financial ecosystems.
This transition does not represent a change in strategy. It clarifies it.
_able remains focused on being the platform enabling partners to deploy financial services responsibly, profitably and at scale, while continuing to expand the infrastructure and intelligence that sits behind them.
“Our mission remains unchanged,” added Juma.“We believe credit is one of the most powerful tools of economic empowerment. Our ambition is to enable access to credit and savings for hundreds of millions of people globally.”
As _able enters its next phase of growth, the company will continue expanding its infrastructure, intelligence and portfolio management capabilities across emerging markets.
