About

Originally founded in Latvia as Cream Finance, the company operated as a European consumer lending fintech offering short-term and installment loans across multiple markets including Spain, Czech Republic, Latvia, and other EU countries. The company built a fully digital lending platform with automated credit scoring, instant decisioning, and online loan disbursement. Cream Finance rebranded to AvaFin to reflect broader product ambitions. In November 2024, AvaFin was acquired by Capitec Bank, South Africa's largest retail bank by customer count with over 22 million clients.
