Its offerings range across credit, savings and insurance.

The acquisition of Thuthukani forms part of Fin’s efforts to identify partners in different areas with this requirement. 

Fin co-founder and co-CEO Timothy Nuy said: “The leadership of Thuthukani has done an excellent job in building up a needed development housing finance offering for the South African market.

“Under the product name Fin Home Loans and as part of our wide portfolio of consumer & SME finance products, we will expand the service’s distribution and options as we look to leverage and expand housing finance to other regions.”

Thuthukani founder Mark Seymour said: “I could not be more excited about integrating Thuthukani into Fin: this enables us to scale the business and bring our offering to many more people. I am also keen to explore all the synergies within the wider portfolio.”

In December 2022, Fin completed a $2m funding round and completed the brand integration across its markets—Fin South Africa, Fin Kenya, and Fin Tanzania.
