LOAN PERFORMER has it’s roots at the “Uganda Women’s Finance Trust” where it was initially developed as the “Trust Information System (TIS)”. This program started as a MS-DOS based client data entry program towards the end of 1995.

Later, the client module was re-written for Windows 95, and bit by bit, new modules were added. Development at UWFT took about 3 years, from 1995 to 1998.

The product had so much potential that Crystal Clear Software Ltd. took over the future support and development. The name was changed into “LOAN PERFORMER ” and a lot of modifications were made to make it attractive for other Micro-Finance Institutions.

Towards the end of July 1998, LOAN PERFORMER became available as a commercial product. The first commercial release wasVersion 4.0. As the product was developed with a single organisation in mind, version 4.0 was not very suitable for most other organisations.
