The company launched on Mintos in August 2021 with the following subscores for its loans: Loan Portfolio Performance 8, Loan Servicer Efficiency 6, Buyback Strength 6, Cooperation Structure 7, and the Mintos Risk Score 7.
Update: 20 December 2023
There are no significant changes in the company's risk profile.
Update: 27 March 2023
The Loan Portfolio Performance score increase from a 7.1 to an 8.1 is due to a servicer score upgrade. The Loan Servicer Rating from a 7.3 to an 8.2 is due to implemented automatized functionalities related to the payout, monitoring, and collection processes. The Legal Cooperation Structure score increase from an 8.1 to a 9.4 is due to the trust setup and upgraded Mintos subscore model.
Update: 22 December 2022
Mintos has been added to the Master Trust agreement as a trustee. In the case of a default of the lending company, the trust administrator will channel incoming cashflows directly to Mintos. Consequently, the Legal cooperation structure subscore is being upgraded from 4.5 to 8.1.
Update: 28 September 2022
Due to decreasing profitability margins, the Loan servicer efficiency subscore for these loans has been downgraded from 8 to 7. Since the Loan servicer efficiency subscore has decreased, it has left an impact on the Loan portfolio performance subscore as well, downgrading it from 8 to 7. Because of a registered pledge over the entity’s financed portfolio on Mintos, the Cooperation structure subscore for these loans has been upgraded from 4 to 5.

When it comes to loans from entities in Finland and Estonia, we see a repeating issue with the lending company’s API connection, which is decreasing transparency when it comes to our insight into the portfolio performance significant for Mintos investors.

Based on the most recent data, we observe improvements in the underwriting standards as the lending company introduces more control over borrowers’ profiles, along with improvements in the Equity/Asset ratio as a result of the registration of additional share capital. This led to an increase in the profitability ratios and balanced EBIT at the end of 2021. With these good results, two subscores were upgraded: the Loan Servicer Efficiency subscore from 6 to 7, and the Buyback Strength subscore from 4 to 6. Mintos Risk Score for loans from Zenka was upgraded from 5 to 6.

The framework from the Central Bank of Kenya from April 2020 changed the regulation related to the submission of borrowers’ information about non-performing loans to the Credit Reference Bureaus, as part of the consumer protection agenda, reverted in October 2020. This decision negatively affected already irregular borrower repayment dynamics. More loan repayments were extended and for a longer period of time, a practice that had a significant impact on the decrease of recoverability and increase of the non-performing share of the company’s portfolio. With this in mind, we downgraded the Loan Portfolio Performance subscore for loans issued by Zenka, from 5 to 4. The growing share of non-performing loans means more cash flow tied to them, and higher risk of a negative liquidity event, with a negative effect on the company’s profitability position and capitalization. As a result, the Loan Servicer Efficiency and Buyback Strength subscores for loans issued by Zenka are downgraded from 7 to 6 and from 6 to 4, respectively. Downgrades of subscores affected the Mintos Risk Score downgrade, from 5 to 4.
