🎙️ In this episode of the Pure Digital Passion Podcast, I sat down with Kamau Kunyiha, the Regional CEO for East & Southern Africa and CEO of Creditinfo CRB Kenya, during the official launch of Creditinfo’s new Identity | KYC | Fraud platform in Nairobi.

🇰🇪 Kenya is the first global market to roll out this next-gen eKYC solution — a modular, intelligent platform designed to tackle the biggest challenges in digital onboarding, including identity verification, fraud detection, and real-time credit decisioning.

Over the course of our conversation, Kamau shared insights from his 20+ year journey in credit intelligence — from the early days of manual credit reporting to today’s era of AI-powered scoring and data-driven decisioning. He also unpacked Creditinfo’s strategic shift toward delivering end-to-end analytics and decisioning platforms to lenders across Africa.

We discussed:

✅ How Creditinfo is evolving beyond traditional credit bureaus✅ The power of IDM (Instant Decisioning Module) in enabling real-time credit scoring✅ Why Kenya is an ideal launchpad for fintech and regtech innovation✅ How Creditinfo is helping lenders move from fraud detection to fraud prevention✅ The role of mobile money, psychometrics, and alt-data in expanding financial access✅ Why digital trust, not just credit scores, is the new foundation of financial services✅ The future of seamless onboarding in a mobile-first African context

Kamau also shared what it takes to succeed in complex, high-growth markets like Kenya — from navigating regulatory relationships to building tech that fits local needs.

This episode is essential listening for anyone building or investing in the future of digital finance in Africa.
