Smartphones: The New Credit Enablers Transforming Micro-Financing

Can smartphones become credit enablers? With eezLoan, they can.

Financial institutions and lenders now have the opportunity to unlock new segments, expand lending responsibly, and create more inclusive credit ecosystems. eezLoan converts a user’s smartphone into virtual collateral, with device locking features and a comprehensive digital debt collections platform, effectively building a bridge between customer trust and lender protection.

By transforming every smartphone into a virtual collateral, eezLoan gives lenders the confidence to extend credit, the intelligence to recover efficiently, and the technology to lend responsibly, all while keeping customers empowered and their data protected.

eezLoan: Empowering Digital Lending. Protecting Credit. Simplifying Finance.

Credit That Fits Every Customer

With eezLoan, lenders can now offer a full range of financing products, from microloans and BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) to loans to purchase electronics and other consumer durables, all backed by the customer’s phone as a secure asset.

No paperwork, no lengthy approvals, just fast, digital lending that works for every kind of customer. eezLoan simplifies credit journeys for customers, from the New-to-Credit to repeat borrowers, creating inclusion through trust and technology.

Smarter Security, Simpler Lending

At the heart of eezLoan is Datacultr’s advanced device locking solution, a technology trusted by financiers across 30+ countries.

If a borrower defaults, the phone can be remotely restricted, encouraging timely payments while protecting the retailer’s capital. No more field visits or manual follow-ups; recovery becomes digital, intelligent, and effortless.

eezLoan bridges credit and control, making every financed smartphone both an opportunity and an assurance.

How eezLoan Works

1

The customer’s existing smartphone becomes the collateral

2

Lenders set up the eezLoan app on the phone without any reset

3

The cash loan amount is released, or a new device is financed

4

Repayments are monitored; missed ones lead to device lock

eezLoan: Works on Any Phone, Old or New

Whether it’s a new device or an in-use one, or as some folks say, a ‘running phone’, eezLoan can be activated instantly.

The device can be set up without resetting the device, preserving all user data, ensuring privacy, and creating a frictionless onboarding experience for both lenders and customers.

This flexibility makes eezLoan a game-changer for micro-financing, helping lenders expand their portfolios without adding operational complexity.

A Phone with Data Is a Phone with Value

A phone full of memories, contacts, and apps holds far more value to a customer than one that’s wiped clean, and that’s what eezLoan is built to protect. 

That’s why borrowers are willing to enable eezLoan’s smart device locking feature because they know their data is safe, and their device stays personal.

This creates a unique win-win:

By combining empathy with security, eezLoan makes credit personal, digital, and sustainable.
