4G Capital Celebrates Its B Corp Certification and Recognition as One of Africa’s Best Fintechs for Financial Growth
As we advance our mission to expand the B Corp movement in Africa, we’re honoured to recognise outstanding businesses that harness their impact for positive change. Among them is 4G Capital, newly certified as a B Corporation and celebrated as one of the continent’s top fintechs championing financial growth and inclusion.
4G Capital is redefining financial empowerment through its innovative approach to smart business loans, training, and digital financial services that help micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) grow sustainably. With fast mobile-money disbursements and repayments, the company delivers financing that is simple, secure, and stress-free. Every loan is paired with tailored business training through its distinctive “touch-tech” model, blending human support with digital tools to ensure entrepreneurs gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
Certified as a B Corporation since 2019, 4G Capital has achieved an outstanding B Impact Score of 145.2 on its official B Corp profile—far surpassing the global median of 50.9. This score reflects the company’s exceptional performance across governance, workers, community, environment, and customer impact. The certification not only recognises excellence but also reinforces the company’s long-standing commitment to balancing profit with purpose.
Since its founding in 2013, 4G Capital has expanded across Kenya, Uganda, and other African markets, providing unsecured mobile-money loans and personalised business training to micro-entrepreneurs. As reported by African Business (2019), this model effectively bridges the gap between finance and education, enabling business owners in underserved and “data-dark” communities to access capital while gaining essential knowledge to manage and grow their enterprises.
The company’s customer success outcomes further underline its impact, consistently maintaining repayment rates of around 95%, repeat business above 80%, and a Net Promoter Score exceeding 70, according to the B Lab Global database. These results demonstrate the trust and value 4G Capital has built within the communities it serves.
In 2022, Invest Africa recognised 4G Capital as one of the “Best for the World” B Corps, placing it among the top five percent of certified B Corporations worldwide for its positive impact on customers.
“Our B Corp certification is a powerful validation of our belief that business can be a force for good,” said Wayne Hennessy-Barrett, Founder and Executive Chairman of 4G Capital. “It’s a commitment that grounds every loan, every training session and every partnership, ensuring our success is inherently tied to the sustainable growth of the customers we serve.”
This recognition reinforces 4G Capital’s commitment to using business as a force for good, aligning with the B Corp vision of creating a more inclusive and sustainable economic future for Africa.
