Thumeza is a fintech company based in Johannesburg, South Africa that specializes in data-powered financing for the logistics sector. With a strong focus on small scale transporters, Thumeza understands the challenges faced by the industry and offers tailor-made solutions to help businesses grow. In the past four years, Thumeza has evolved from a last mile service provider to a freight-centric platform, connecting small scale transporters with large enterprises in need of transporting goods.

The company's transition was driven by the realization that lack of access to credit severely affects transporters and the businesses that rely on them across the continent. Thumeza's unique approach utilizes operational data to create credit profiles for transporters and then provides the necessary funds either through a credit provider or their own private balance sheet. The process is efficient, with funds typically received within 3-5 working days, as long as the required documents and information are provided.

With an empathetic understanding of the industry, Thumeza stands out as a reliable and dedicated partner for transporters in need of quick access to financing. Their goal is to empower businesses with operational funds, enabling them to take on more jobs and manage day-to-day operational needs with confidence
