Riskebiz's mission is eradicate poverty through profitability.

In microfinance, profitabilty has both a financial and social component.

While all businesses have a conventional bottom line to measure their fiscal performance, financial profit, microfinance seeks a second bottom line, or social profitability, which measures performance in terms of positive social impact.

Incorporated in 1999, Riskebiz started as a technology company providing internet services for the insurance industry, hence the name "RISK". In 2002 Riskebiz began developing mobile web services including mobile websites and SMS delivery platforms.

Riskebiz provides a broad range of services, with an emphasis on mobile web based solutions, which help reduce and manage the risks faced by Microfinance Institutions and the funds which invest in them.

Riskebiz works directly with Tier 2 and Tier 3 MFIs. We also work with insurance companies, microfinance service providers, NGO's and Non-Profit Organizations, microfinance consultants, SMS aggregators, mobile payment solution providers, governments and microfinance funds.
