hire credit officers in africa

Banks, microfinance institutions and lenders hire credit officers to grow their loan book with clients who will repay. A good officer knows the field, assesses each borrower honestly and follows up early when repayments slip.

What to check when screening

  • Look at the quality of their past portfolio and how they handled arrears.
  • Check they know client identification and anti-fraud checks.

  • Tell me about a loan you recommended refusing. Why?
