Creditinfo CRB Kenya LTD Creditinfo CRB Kenya Ltd's vision is to be the Leading Provider of Credit Risk Management Solutions in East Africa.

A credit bureau is an agency that collects credit information from lenders and other relevant credit information sources on a borrower’s credit history, and provides that information, for a fee, to prospective lenders. Information acquired from a credit bureau allows a lender to better assess the credit worthiness of a borrower. The credit bureau is like a warehouse of information about your past

credit history. When you borrow money - with a car loan or credit card, for example - your lender reports back to the credit bureaus. The lender tells the credit bureau if you've been ‘naughty or nice’ and how much debt you have.

In Kenya, fraud is increasingly showing up in digital lending and onboarding journeys.

A typical case involves a loan approved within minutes using seemingly valid ID and phone details, only for it to later emerge that the identity was misused or enabled through gaps like SIM swaps and fragmented verification. By then, the loss has already occurred.

This highlights a key shift: Fraud today is less about system breaches and more about exploiting weak or disconnected identity checks. As a result, identity verification is evolving into a real-time trust decision at onboarding, where organisations must balance speed, accuracy, and risk much earlier in the customer journey.

Rob Meakins, Director, Fraud & ID at Creditinfo Group, will discuss this in detail, unpacking how these fraud patterns are evolving and what organisations need to rethink to stay ahead.

Trust is the foundation of every transaction, but today, it’s built at onboarding.
As financial services digitise, onboarding has become a critical control point that directly shapes risk, compliance, and system integrity.
The reality is:
▪️ Weak identity checks lead to fraud exposure downstream
▪️ Fragmented processes create gaps that fraudsters exploit
▪️ Poor onboarding decisions impact confidence and growth
This is no longer just about compliance; it’s about building secure, scalable financial systems.

Join our webinar to hear how Fidelis Muia unpacks these shifts and what they mean for the industry.

Digital onboarding is often designed with smartphones in mind. But in markets like Kenya, a significant share of customers still transact via USSD and feature phones.

This raises a more nuanced question for lenders and digital providers:
How do you deliver secure, compliant onboarding in environments with limited data, limited interfaces, and rising fraud risk?

The answer isn’t simply to digitise existing processes. It requires rethinking how identity is verified, how data is connected, and how risk is assessed, all within constrained channels.

In our upcoming webinar, our Group Pre-Sales Consultant, Dion Scotten will explore practical approaches to enabling secure digital onboarding on USSD platforms, and what this means for organisations operating at scale.

Ever wondered what’s really changing behind digital onboarding in Kenya right now?

As businesses move faster to onboard customers, fraud tactics are evolving just as quickly — becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect in real time.

This raises a critical question: how do you scale growth without increasing risk?

Michael Nyaga shared a powerful perspective at the Credit Market Growth & Resilience Summit 2026 on the future of fraud and digital onboarding.

Key highlights:

• The real challenge today isn’t just verifying identity — it’s knowing who you can truly trust in real time
• Fraud is becoming more sophisticated, making traditional verification methods less effective
• Stronger onboarding now relies on validating customer profiles across multiple trusted data sources
• Combining bureau insights, national registries, phone ownership data, and digital footprint signals helps create a single, reliable Trust Score
• Where data is consistent, approvals can happen faster; where inconsistencies appear, risk can be flagged immediately
• Institutions that strengthen identity verification will reduce fraud exposure while approving more genuine customers

This conversation reinforced a clear shift: smarter data and real-time trust will define the next phase of digital lending and secure onboarding. If improving onboarding while reducing fraud risk is a priority for your organisation, this is a conversation worth having. Let’s connect and explore how it can work for you.

At the Credit Market Growth & Resilience Summit 2026, hosted by Credit Information Sharing Association of Kenya - CIS Kenya leaders shaping the future of Kenya’s credit ecosystem came together for an important and forward-looking conversation. Among them was our CEO, Kamau Kunyiha, who joined fellow industry leaders on a powerful panel exploring how better data, stronger collaboration, and evolving regulations can reshape the credit landscape in a rapidly changing financial world.

This rare and impactful discussion focused on the future of credit information sharing and the collective responsibility of the industry to strengthen trust, transparency, and resilience within Kenya’s credit ecosystem. Several critical themes stood out: the urgent need to improve data quality across the industry, including wider adoption of the CIS ValiData tool approved by the Central Bank of Kenya; the growing importance of using CRB insights more effectively to support smarter lending and stronger portfolio performance; and the shift toward risk-based credit pricing powered by more advanced, data-driven models. The conversation also highlighted the need to strengthen fraud prevention and identity verification as digital lending continues to grow, while ensuring that credit systems do more than expand access; they must actively support long-term consumer financial health.

Another strong theme that emerged throughout the summit was the shift from financial inclusion to financial health. Access alone is no longer enough. The focus is now on ensuring that credit meaningfully strengthens the financial futures of individuals and businesses, particularly women-led MSMEs. Turning data into actionable insight will be key through thoughtful product design, gender-responsive lending, and deeper collaboration between regulators and financial institutions.

Ultimately, the message was clear: opening the door to credit is only the beginning. The real opportunity lies in ensuring that once that door is open, individuals and businesses can build resilience, stability, and long-term prosperity.
