Problem Statement & FluxCap Solution
The problem statement and the FluxCap solution – the market gaps and the platform response.
The problem
- Slow traditional bank lending: multi-day approvals and
document-heavy processes fail consumers facing same-day
emergencies. - Complex application journeys: branch visits, payslips, and manual
verification exclude gig workers and informally employed
earners. - Limited access to short-term credit: banks under-serve
small-ticket, short-duration loans because legacy cost structures make
them uneconomic. - Financial exclusion: an estimated 10 million unbanked adults and
40% of consumers with thin or no bureau files are invisible to
conventional scorecards. - Poor financial literacy: credit is often used without budgeting
support, driving repeat distress borrowing and
over-indebtedness. - Inadequate emergency funding options: the alternative for many is
informal lending (mashonisas) at unregulated prices and with coercive
collection practices.
