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

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. Since 2023 she has also consulted for banks, SACCOs, microfinance institutions and digital lenders on credit strategy, risk frameworks, mobile-money-based credit scoring, and regulatory compliance.

That combination — banking operations, digital lending, and a grounding in statistics — shapes how IDS sources, verifies and presents financial data. Peris reviews the company's finance and money content across markets, currency and mobile money, ensuring it is accurate, well-sourced, clearly dated, and explained rather than advised.
