“What Wema Bank and TLG have accomplished sets a new benchmark in African banking. With this collaboration, TLG Capital has become our surgical partner to assist with such intricate transactions that may be difficult for any Nigerian bank to do alone. This is exactly what we have been looking for to secure more flexible financial solutions directly to our customers.”

"Partnering with TLG allows us to provide the nuanced financial structuring that banks may not be equipped to deliver. This enables us to offer our customers more flexible financing, and to free up liquidity to serve more clients. TLG brings both innovative structuring and deep engagement to the table, and we are proud to work alongside them to develop scalable, replicable models for SME financing in Kenya."
