Pilot Program
A no-cost shadow deployment for your institution

What happens after you apply

1. Integration
AfriScore connects to your loan origination system via API or a lightweight adapter, working around your existing infrastructure and data residency requirements.

2. Shadow Mode
Every loan application triggers a parallel AfriScore assessment. The result is logged but never influences your decision — your underwriters see nothing different.

3. Calibration Period
Over the pilot period, real outcomes — approvals, rejections, repayment performance — are collected to calibrate the engine to your specific customer base.

4. Calibration Report
You receive a full statistical analysis of how AfriScore would have performed on your actual portfolio, with a clear go/no-go recommendation.
Where we are today
AfriScore has already run a live pilot with a lending partner in Kenya — Jiweze Improved Productivity Ltd (JIP) — processing 3,500+ loans and bringing 700+ previously unbanked borrowers into the formal credit system. That pilot has since grown into a strategic partnership. We’re now looking for our first CEMAC-region pilot partner: early attention, real flexibility, and a partner genuinely motivated to make it work for you.

What you gain from the pilot
Empirical calibration
The engine learns your specific customer behavior — becoming more accurate for your portfolio than any off-the-shelf model.
Regulatory alignment
The calibration report is designed to support compliance conversations with regional regulators.
Early access & influence
As one of the first CEMAC pilot partners, you directly shape the product roadmap.
Pilot Program Questions
Is there any cost to participate?
No. The pilot is completely free, with no financial commitment and no obligation to continue afterward.
What data do you need from us?
Only the alternative data fields AfriScore requires — mobile money summaries, airtime patterns, device metadata, and loan application details. Never traditional bank statements or bureau files.
How long does integration take?
Typically a few business days via API, or a lightweight adapter if you prefer a non-API connection. The engine runs in parallel without requiring changes to your workflow.
Can we deploy on our own infrastructure?
Yes. For institutions with data residency requirements, the engine can be deployed on your own servers using Docker — no data leaves your environment.
