the underserved segment lacking access to traditional financial services,
Robocash Group served 4.2 million of new customers in 2019, by 106% more than a

Asian region that the company has focused on since 2017. Moreover, that was a
267% increase year-over-year. Substantial contribution in this regard was made
by the Indian market where the group started activities at the end of January
2019. In a year, the company served more than 300 thousand Indians. This number
made up 25.7% of the mentioned customer base in Asia in 2019. The Philippines
took first place with 46.4%. Vietnam was third (14.6%) followed by Indonesia
(13.2%).

 

At the same
time, despite such extensive growth, the company observed high customer
retention. In 2019, almost every other client (53.6%) used the services of the
group more than once. What is more, 17.8% applied and got financing three
times, 31.8% – four or more times.

 

With the
growing demand for the services, there also was a significant increase in the
number of granted advances. As of December 31, 2019, the cumulative amount of
consumer loans provided by companies of Robocash Group since 2013 hit 7.3
million. In 2019 alone, 3.3 million loans were issued, it made up a 45%
increase year-over-year.

 

The

December 31, 2019, exceeded $600 million. With an increase of 70%
year-over-year, the volume in 2019 amounted to $307 million.

 

Commenting
on the results, Sergey Sedov, Founder & CEO of Robocash Group said:
“Alternative lending has rapidly developed in the past years. In particular, it
applies to emerging markets such as South and Southeast Asia. Placing financial
inclusion on a daily agenda has helped countries promote innovations in the
region and see the first results. Still, many more should be done, as the gap
remains enormous. In this sense, our figures at Robocash Group have only
confirmed that. This year, we will continue expanding our activities to provide
access to instant financing solutions to a broader range of customers.”
