What we stand for

Three commitments. No hedges.

Credit done badly hurts the people who can least afford it. We chose this business knowing that, and we run it accordingly. Every product decision, every underwriting rule, and every customer conversation goes back to these three.

01

Humility
We listen first. Our customers and partners know their lives and their businesses better than we do — our job is to build credit that serves them, not the other way around.

02

Integrity
Every loan is structured to be repaid. Every fee is disclosed up front. Every decision is logged and explainable. Responsible lending is not a marketing line — it is the operating standard.

03

Transparency
No hidden costs. No buried terms. A clear schedule, a clear price, and a clear path to talk to a human if anything goes wrong.

How it works

Shop. Decide. Ship.

Your customer adds to cart on your store. We pre-qualify quietly, score in seconds, book the loan in requires_capture, and disburse only when you ship. Refunds and partial shipments recompute the repayment schedule automatically.

  1. 01

    Customer shops

    Your shopper builds their cart as normal. We pre-qualify quietly so you know whether to surface Lipa Polepole — no hard bureau pull.

  2. 02

    We decide, fast

    Identity, fraud, affordability, score, and cart-aware limit — all in a single, observable state machine. Approved customers see their offer. Declines get a respectful path back to your alternative payment options.

  3. 03

    You ship, we collect

    Disbursement fires on shipment, not on click. Refunds and partial shipments proportionally recompute the schedule. We handle reminders, repayments, and collections. You handle the order.

Integration

Three ways to add Lipa Polepole.
One platform underneath.

Start with a redirect this quarter. Move to embedded UI when you're ready. Go fully native when your roadmap demands it. The same API, state machine, webhook contract, and idempotency primitives carry through every stage — so the integration you ship today is the integration you keep.

Phase 1 Available

Redirect

Hand off to our hosted checkout. Live in around 30 lines of code.

Best for: Fastest go-live, lowest compliance footprint.

Phase 2 Q3

Embedded

Mount EDOMX elements inside your own checkout. Customer never leaves your page.

Best for: Conversion-sensitive UX, native-feeling flow.

Phase 3 Q4

Direct API

Full server-to-server control. Native Android and iOS SDKs.

Best for: High-volume platforms, sub-second repeat-buyer decisioning.

For developers

An API you'd actually want to use.

Borrowed from the patterns that scaled Stripe and PayPal: one durable resource, one explicit state machine, server-to-server webhooks as the source of truth. Built so you ship correctly in week one and don't rewrite anything in year two.

Identity confirmed against the national register. Selfie liveness and document authenticity built in.
