Optasia in the News: TechCentral Show Goes Deep on Our Model

We sat down with TechCentral’s Duncan McLeod for an in-depth episode of The TechCentral Show — and it’s a great look under the hood of Optasia. Our Group CEO Salvador Anglada walked through how our platform is targeting to distribute more than $6-billion in credit across 38 countries in 2026, running 1.5 billion credit decisions a month for over 120 million users, with microfinancing now 72% of revenue. He detailed the algorithms behind it — over 5,000 data points per customer — and a blended default rate of just 1.2% on unsecured, collateral-free loans. Salvador also addressed Optasia’s plans for South Africa and previewed expansion into Ethiopia, Egypt, and Mozambique through 2030.
