About Fido

Fido wants to empower individuals and entrepreneurs in Ghana to take charge of their future by providing financial services that are inclusive, instant, and easily accessible through its innovative digital products.

Fido’s independent financial platform is able to make instant credit decisions — even for customers with no financial track record — based on unique machine learning risk models.

Fido has also introduced the Fido Score — a rewards system that encourages customers to adopt smart financial habits and enables them to build a digital financial identity. Customers can increase their score as they complete actions in the Fido app, such as repaying loans on time, and sharing personal information like proof of residence or proof of employment.

The Challenge

Achieve user growth goals by increasing app installs and getting more loan applications.

Reach out to Fido’s target audience of Android phone users in Ghana aged 18+.

Key Considerations for Appnext

Fido wanted the Appnext campaign to address the fact that the decision to install and sign up for an investment app is both a practical and emotional one: practical, because a person will probably do some research before making a decision on which to choose, meaning that you need to convey the key features and benefits; and emotional, because for many people investing is driven by something timely like a work bonus or raise, or a sense of not wanting to miss out on an investment opportunity.

The Results

Digital acquisitions for new credit app hugely increased.

40% lower CPA than industry benchmark.

Successfully targeted and converted high value audiences.
