About Bridgement

Bridgement is breaking down the barriers to access finance for small businesses in South Africa. Traditional loans from banks and other lenders have a slow application process, have strict criteria, require a lot of documentation, and inflexible terms. In contrast, we use cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to offer flexible finance online, with a 2-minute application, no documentation required, and a decision in a matter of hours. We're a well-funded fintech start-up, backed by Capricorn and the greater Yellowwoods group, best known for their investments in and ownership of Nandos, Hollard, Clientèle, Direct Axis, and Budget Group. Having won several awards recently, including Xero's App of the Year award, we are proud to be recognised by worldwide brands as a trusted and valued business.

  • Identifying and flagging potential fraud attempts and concerns over financial health.
  • Assisting our Credit Team with assessing applications and with credit decisioning.
  • Helping our Engineering Team develop new processes for account management, application processing, and credit assessment.
