Education Investments

What is 8B?

8B is the first fintech social enterprise specialized in lending to African students to attend world-class global universities. 8B is convinced that Africa must deliver shared prosperity to its youthful population; to do so, African nations require a deep bench of highly educated ecosystem-builders who are equipped to participate, compete, and thrive in the knowledge economy of the 21st century. We help them afford the educations to get them on their way. Read more about our mission, discover our services, and meet our team.
