As a valued subsidiary of the Unifi Africa group, a network of microfinance companies across Africa, Unifi South Africa is excited to announce a significant move. We’ve relocated to a brand-new, modern office space. This will allow us to accommodate our continued growth and unwavering commitment to making life easy for South Africans in need of microfinance.

Our story

Unifi South Africa’s story began in 2004 with a small, branch-based microfinance company in the Cape Town CBD called Cobol. We became part of Unifi Africa in 2018 and joined the mission to make life easy with simple loans for 1 million clients by 2025. Today, our loans are 100% online and our superfast application is enabled by our user-friendly website. Each month, tens of thousands of clients across South Africa rely on us. We stand out by serving them with dignity and a human touch, seamlessly integrated with the very best technology.

Microfinance on the move up

“Unifi SA’s office expansion signifies a major milestone for us. It reflects our dedication to exceptional service and support for our fast-growing client base, which has nearly doubled over the past year. The new space will provide us with the resources to further enhance our operations. This includes efficient loan processing powered by advanced in-house built technology and trusted third-party partnerships,” says Heinz Essmann, Country Manager of Unifi South Africa.

More than just square footage

Our new location isn’t just about additional workspace (although we won’t complain). At the same time, it also presents an opportunity to create an even more dynamic and stimulating environment for our talented team. Additionally, this expansion opens doors to a multitude of exciting new job opportunities.

If you are passionate about contributing to empowering South Africans with accessible finance, Unifi invites you to join the team. Keep an eye on the Unifi South Africa website and LinkedIn page for upcoming career opportunities.
