Reaction from World Bank: the merger "promises an impact greater than the sum of its parts"

The merger between EFL and Lenddo is tremendously exciting. Both firms offer technologies that can push the frontiers of financial inclusion, and help reach the unbanked around the world. The combination of their technologies and implementation capacity promises an impact greater than the sum of its parts – and we look forward to seeing the results of this partnership on increasing access to finance in the years ahead.
