About Numida

Numida is a forward-thinking fintech company empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across East Africa with accessible, personalized digital financial solutions. We are passionate about building real-world impact for real people—supporting entrepreneurs in their daily lives and business journeys.

Position Overview

We are looking for a highly analytical and detail-oriented Internal Control Officer to join our growing team in Kampala. In this role, you will be responsible for monitoring and auditing our digital credit workflows, verifying client information, investigating exceptions and anomalies, and supporting fraud prevention efforts. You will be central to ensuring operational integrity, risk mitigation, and adherence to credit policies.

This is an excellent opportunity for an entry-level professional eager to make a meaningful contribution to financial compliance and innovation in digital lending.

Duties, Roles and Responsibilities

Credit Process Monitoring & Compliance

  • Review all stages of the digital credit process—application, underwriting, disbursement, and recovery—for compliance and control gaps.

  • Audit loan files regularly to ensure adherence to internal credit policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

  • Verify that all loans meet Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements (e.g., National ID, signed contracts, and valid business documentation).

Client Verification & Field Validation

  • Conduct field visits and spot checks to confirm client existence, business legitimacy, and loan utilization.

  • Make follow-up calls to clients for validation and feedback on their lending experience.

  • Investigate high-risk clients and accounts flagged for irregularities.

Exception Handling & Investigations

  • Identify and investigate suspicious activities such as fraud, impersonation, or irregular disbursement behavior.

  • Track and analyze anomalies in loan processes (e.g., phone number changes, unauthorized overrides, repayment deviations).

  • Maintain detailed logs of all incidents and actions taken; compile weekly and monthly compliance reports.

Review of Declined Applications

  • Assess at least 90% of rejected loan applications daily to confirm the accuracy and fairness of rejection decisions.

  • Identify improper dismissals and recommend corrective action.

  • Collaborate with Credit Relationship Officers (CROs) to enhance decision-making quality and reduce unnecessary rejections.

Training & Internal Support

  • Deliver refresher training sessions on credit policy, compliance, and fraud prevention.

  • Act as a resource for the Credit Operations team, providing guidance on internal control standards and compliance.

  • Recommend process improvements based on audit insights and risk assessments.
