Persistence of AssetStream- What’s on the Horizon?

In the 1970s, a professor of economics from the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh, pioneered microfinance when he loaned $27 to a women’s group that specialized in bamboo stools. In 2006, Dr. Muhammad Yunus made the headlines when he won the Nobel Peace Prize for championing modern-day microcredit.

Over a decade later, however, the world’s unbanked population is still at an outstanding 2 billion people. High interest rates, distrust, lack of knowledge about the product, and lengthy durations are but a few of the challenges facing the microfinance industry.

AssetStream is here to overcome such hurdles by leveraging blockchain technology and making use of the available infrastructure to reach the unbanked and underbanked populations.

Restoration of Trust

The effort of Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank sparked a revolution for small loans but the effects have been criticized almost as much as they have been lauded. The unbanked have lost trust because most microcredit institutions have only been in it for the profits, evidenced by the withholding of information concerning terms of loans as well as aggressive debt collection.

For example, in Andhra Pradesh, India, borrowers from rural areas have been driven poorer by microfinance institutions. A villager woman, Bharti, recalls how she joined a women’s group where she was pushed to borrow from the credit officer even though she did not have the capacity to generate revenue. What followed was an extremely aggressive debt-collection process that left her with almost nothing of value.

With AssetStream, however, the unbanked can trust again – not only are the terms and obligations of the loan laid out in the open but also the borrower has a chance to dictate their terms. And they are providing a demo account for users to familiarize with the platform. People also get to borrow from many different lenders rather than the platform itself.

What’s more, AssetStream is providing a summary view of key indicators (such as transactions that have been executed or not, performance indicators, etc.) to all users. The platform will be able to restore trust gradually.
