AI-powered credit infrastructure Mathesis Analytics, has secured a strategic investment from Sewa Capital Limited, an investment banking and financial advisory firm, to scale its artificial intelligence-powered credit decisioning infrastructure across Nigeria.
The investment, announced on August 13, 2026, is expected to accelerate the development and institutional deployment of Mathesis Analytics’ proprietary credit decisioning engine.
The company said the investment would support product development, institutional integrations, expansion of its lender network, as well as the strengthening of its data and technology infrastructure.
According to Mathesis, one of the major challenges confronting lenders in Nigeria is the fragmentation of verifiable consumer data, which makes it difficult for financial institutions to accurately assess and price credit risk at scale.
Its technology seeks to address the challenge by bringing together transactional and behavioural data to generate real-time assessments of borrowers’ creditworthiness.
Mathesis said the infrastructure would enable financial institutions to increase their underwriting capacity and make more accurate risk-based lending decisions while maintaining established risk thresholds.
Commenting on the investment, Managing Director of Sewa Capital, Angela Jide-Jones, said the firm was interested in businesses developing infrastructure capable of helping African economies allocate capital more efficiently and inclusively.
“At Sewa Capital, we are interested in businesses building the infrastructure that enables African economies to allocate capital more efficiently and inclusively,” she said.
Jide-Jones said Mathesis Analytics was addressing what she described as a fundamental constraint in credit markets — the information gap limiting lenders’ ability to assess risk confidently.

She added that the company’s technology could help expand responsible access to credit in Nigeria and, eventually, other African markets.
“We are pleased to support the team through its next phase of growth,” she said.
For Mathesis Analytics, the investment represents a significant step in its ambition to develop next-generation credit infrastructure for Africa and promote greater financial inclusion.
The company said it has so far supported more than eight million loans for over two million unique borrowers in Nigeria, providing an operating base for deeper institutional adoption and expansion into additional markets.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mathesis Analytics, Winston Osuchukwu, said the partnership would help accelerate the company’s efforts to equip more lenders with technology for assessing credit risk.
“Credit inclusion begins with information visibility,” Osuchukwu said.
According to him, the partnership with Sewa Capital would accelerate the rollout of Mathesis’ infrastructure and give a wider network of lenders access to capabilities needed to accurately evaluate risk.
He said the ultimate objective was to enable more people who have historically been excluded from formal credit services to gain responsible access to financing across Nigeria and, eventually, the continent.
