In partnership with

Working with leading partners for a stronger lending ecosystem

Collexia — Beyond Payments Creditinfo

Debit-order collections through Collexia, and credit bureau checks through Creditinfo — built into the loan workflow.

About our partners

Collexia

Electronic debit-order collections

Repayments are collected through Collexia's electronic debit orders. Mandates are placed from the loan, bank responses come back automatically and every result is posted to the loan account — a failed payment flags arrears the moment it happens.

Creditinfo

Credit bureau checks and reporting

Credit bureau checks sit inside the lending workflow, so the person assessing an application sees the bureau report without leaving the loan. Each credit provider works with Creditinfo under its own agreement and credentials.

About DesertLedger

Built in Namibia, for credit providers

Spreadsheets, a bank portal and a separate accounting package leave gaps between every step. DesertLedger closes them with one connected system of record.

A loan in DesertLedger with its terms, statutory charges and amortization schedule
A loan, its charges and its schedule — one screen. Sample data.

Every step feeds the next — nothing is re-typed

  • Application, assessment, approval, disbursement, collection and recovery live in a single system, with one data model and one audit trail.
  • Repayments are collected by electronic debit order and reconciled to the loan account automatically.
  • NAMFISA levies and duty stamp are calculated on every loan, and regulatory reports are built in.
  • Every transaction posts straight to the general ledger — so the books are current, not a month-end exercise.

Each credit provider gets its own isolated workspace on shared infrastructure: its own borrowers, loans, accounting and compliance data, scoped at the platform level so no one can see another lender's book.

Truly integrated

One data model from application to accounting — not five tools stitched together with exports and re-keying.

Built for Namibia

NAD-denominated, with NAMFISA statutory charges, duty stamp and local lending workflows built in from the start.

Compliance by design

Statutory charges and regulatory reporting are core features of the platform, not add-ons.

Platform features

What's in the platform

The lending desk and the back office, in one place.

Lending and loan management

Borrowers, online applications, loan products, approvals, disbursement, schedules, top-ups and reschedules, with a full activity log on every loan.

Collections and debit orders

Debit-order mandates through Collexia, automatic reconciliation, an arrears worklist by age bucket, and promise-to-pay tracking.

Credit bureau

Creditinfo checks inside the loan workflow, so assessment starts from the bureau report rather than a separate portal.

Integrated accounting

Loan transactions post to the general ledger. Trial balance, cash book, fixed assets, expenses and commissions sit alongside.

Compliance and reporting

NAMFISA levies and duty stamp calculated per loan, regulatory and quarterly reports, and live management reporting on the loan book and arrears.

Branches, staff and control

Multiple branches, roles and permissions, approval workflows and an audit trail, administered centrally with one consolidated view.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about how DesertLedger works.

Who is DesertLedger for?

Credit providers in Namibia — microlenders and other non-bank lenders who want applications, loans, collections, accounting and compliance in one system instead of several tools.

How are repayments collected?

By electronic debit order through Collexia. DesertLedger places the mandate from the loan, receives the bank response, posts it to the loan account, and flags arrears straight away if a payment fails — no manual bank files.

Is my data kept separate from other lenders?

Yes. Every credit provider has its own isolated workspace — its own borrowers, loans, accounting and compliance data. The separation is enforced at the platform level, so one lender can never see another's book.

Does it cover credit bureau checks and regulatory reporting?

Yes. Creditinfo bureau checks run inside the loan workflow. NAMFISA levies and duty stamp are calculated on each loan, and regulatory and quarterly reports are produced from the same data.

How do I see it working?

Get in touch by email or phone and we will arrange a walkthrough of the platform using your own lending process as the starting point.
