Know who you're onboarding, before you decide what to risk on them.
Chanzelu checks the people and businesses you onboard against the registers that already know them. Built in Zambia, for the institutions carrying the risk.

Chanzelu starts narrow and gets more capable.
Identity verification is live and in pilot. Credit decisioning is next, built on the same platform rather than bolted on later.
Identity verification
Confirms someone is who they claim to be before you take them on, checked against the registers Zambian institutions already trust.
Credit decisioning, coming next
The next layer on the same platform: turning a verified identity into an actual risk decision, not just a match on a name.
Built for who carries the risk
Microfinance and lending institutions first, and any business that takes on risk the moment someone signs up.
What pilot partners ask first.
Is Chanzelu live today?
The identity verification side works, and we are running it with a small number of pilot partners while we harden it for the long run. We would rather bring a few institutions on properly than open it up before it is ready.
Who is Chanzelu for?
Microfinance and lending institutions first, because they carry the most risk at the exact moment they onboard someone. It is also built for any business that takes on risk the instant it signs a new user up, not just lenders.
What is credit decisioning, and is it available now?
Not yet. Identity verification answers whether someone is who they say they are. Credit decisioning answers whether you should take the risk, and it is the next layer we are building on the same platform. Pilot partners on identity verification get first access as it comes online.
How do we get involved?
Talk to us about your onboarding volume and what you check today. If it is a fit, we bring you on as a pilot partner rather than handing you a self-serve signup.
