times, 31.8% – four or more times.

Commenting
on the results, Sergey Sedov, Founder & CEO of Robocash Group said:
“Alternative lending has rapidly developed in the past years. In particular, it
applies to emerging markets such as South and Southeast Asia. Placing financial
inclusion on a daily agenda has helped countries promote innovations in the
region and see the first results. Still, many more should be done, as the gap
remains enormous. In this sense, our figures at Robocash Group have only
confirmed that. This year, we will continue expanding our activities to provide
access to instant financing solutions to a broader range of customers.”
