Prince Oladele Adeoye, the Chief Rating Officer of DataPro Limited, also said “We recognise that credit decision-making needs to be effective and efficient. This has become necessary today, as customers are looking forward to speedy, convenient, and cost-effective services from providers. A technology that can assist Financial Institutions and Corporate Bodies whose businesses run on credit to make informed decisions, therefore, becomes essential.”
Over the past 27 years, DataPro has played strategic roles in supporting the growth
and development of the Nigerian economy, and in reducing inequality, barriers, and
information asymmetry in investment decisions.
Cristian Giacomini, CEO of modefinance international, was quoted as saying “We are fully committed to transferring our know-how, generating added value for the Nigerian economy, and creating a domestic legacy in the credit risk management industry. Our technological innovations in big data, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and machine learning are all paving the way for MSMEs to have access to better financial services.”
