About the Academy

The learning and customer-knowledge platform of FinaX

Better-trained teams make better lending decisions - and better lending builds stronger institutions.

FinaX Academy brings together practical microfinance education and hands-on product training for the people who run lending institutions across Tanzania and East Africa: loan officers, credit analysts, administrators, managers and executives of MFIs, SACCOS, digital lenders and banks.

Courses combine industry knowledge - regulation, credit risk, portfolio management, responsible digital lending and financial inclusion - with FinaX platform training, so teams can put what they learn to work immediately in their own institution. Every course ends with module quizzes and an assessed examination leading to a FinaX Academy certificate.
