HIL is a fintech-focused group providing digital consumer financial solutions and products to more
than 2.0 million mobile-savvy, mass-market customers in South Africa.


HIL has delivered a strong set of results with exceptional growth from Weaver Fintech,
contributing 92% of the group's operating profit.

We are thrilled to see the exponential growth in the Fintech customer base and believe there is
vast potential to expand the Weaver Fintech product range and cross-sell these products within the
growing ecosystem. Our digital-first approach continues to result in strong financial performance.
Considerable work has also been done in Retail to turn the business around and this is starting to
manifest in improved performance.

We believe our continuous investment in product innovation and exceptional digital customer
experience are fundamental to this success. We are confident in our vision to achieve our growth
ambitions and have sufficient funding to bring it to fruition.
