Peris Wanjiru leads finance content at Index Digital Systems. A banking and finance operations professional with a BSc in Statistics from the University of Nairobi, she brings close to a decade of hands-on experience across credit, lending and payments at leading banks.

At Standard Chartered Bank she spent seven years in lending operations — processing and analysing corporate and SME loans across six African markets, and handling mortgages, personal and auto loans, and credit proposals. At I&M Bank she worked in credit operations and funds transfer, managing credit analysis, lending decisions, and RTGS, SWIFT and telegraphic payments. Her grounding in statistics shapes how IDS sources, verifies and presents financial data.

Peris reviews IDS's finance and money content — across markets, currency and mobile money — to ensure it is accurate, well-sourced, and clearly explained.
