COMMUNITY FINANCE CREDIT REPORTING

Giving Credit Report

Community finance is the oldest form of banking.
Until now, it has been hidden from the mainstream credit market.

Giving Credit Report

The Giving Credit Report leverages community knowledge and social underwriting, so financial and lending decisions can be based on character. The report compiles community finance transactions, which include lending, borrowing, and resource pooling between friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and companies within trusted social networks.

  • Elevates character over wealth or race.

  • Reflects a person's character and how the community perceives them.

  • Is simple to understand. You can have a “good” or “bad” score.

  • Gives consumers complete control over who can see the report, and they know exactly what goes into the report.

COMMUNITY FINANCE DATA

What is community finance?

Community finance is lending, borrowing, and resource pooling between friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, and companies within trusted social networks.

  • Peer-to-peer loans

  • Savings and lending circles

  • Rent payments to roommate, rent-to-own, down payment assistance, etc.

  • Bartering or exchanging services

  • Small business loans from family and friends

  • Character and relationship-based loans from banks, credit unions, and CDFIs

It is mutual aid, and it is real finance. Financial and lending decisions are based on character, not wealth or race. It is the oldest form of banking, yet it is hidden from the mainstream credit market. We can change that, together.
