What lenders say after switching

★★★★★
"We were running 800 loans across four spreadsheets. Within a month everything was in one system and month-end went from a week of reconciling to an afternoon."
Operations Manager
MICROFINANCE INSTITUTION · GAUTENG
★★★★★
"The field app changed how our loan officers work. They capture applications and repayments at the client's door, and head office sees it the same day."
Managing Director
GROUP LENDING MFI · LIMPOPO
★★★★★
"Our funders ask for portfolio reports every quarter. Now it's a report I run, not a project I dread. And when we need help, we talk to the people who built it."

FAQ

Questions lenders ask us

Who is Stonelion Lend for?

Microfinance institutions, SACCOs and co-operatives, and loan managers running individual or group lending books - from a few hundred clients to tens of thousands.

What is Mifos X, and why build on it?

Mifos X is an open-source core banking platform built on Apache Fineract, used by financial institutions around the world. Building on it means you get a mature, well-tested lending core rather than something written from scratch - and you're never locked into a proprietary system.

How long does it take to go live?

Starter customers can be up and running within days. Growth and Enterprise rollouts, which include product configuration and data migration, typically take 2 to 6 weeks depending on the size of your book.

Can you move our existing clients and loans across?

Yes. We migrate clients, active loans, repayment history and opening balances from spreadsheets or a legacy system, and reconcile them with you before go-live.

Where is our data hosted, and is it backed up?

Your instance runs on secure cloud infrastructure with daily backups and monitoring. Enterprise customers can choose dedicated hosting or an on-premise deployment.

Can it integrate with our other tools?

Every feature is available through the core banking API, so it can connect to mobile money, payment gateways, SMS providers, credit bureaus and your own apps. We build and maintain those integrations for you on Growth and Enterprise plans.

What happens after the free trial?

At the end of the 30 days you choose a plan and keep everything you've set up. If it isn't the right fit, you can export your data and walk away - no charge.
