The eMicrocredit Model

Partners are individuals and organizations - located on the ground with critical knowledge of the local population and years of experience - we have partnered with to manage and administer the individual loans.

  • eMicrocredit enables organizations to raise debt capital directly from social investors via the Internet.

  • eMicrocredit provides partner companies 0% interest debt capital in exchange for client impact transparency on the internet.

  • Partner companies on-lend this capital at prevailing interest rates and keep the interest income.

  • Losses arising from client default are borne by eMicrocredit's social investor.

Loans: Partner Companies post client profiles online on eMicrocredit. Client profiles are funded by social investors online.

Funds Transfer: eMicrocredit aggregates the 0% interest USD capital and wires it to the Partner Company on a monthly basis.

Reporting: eMicrocredit's social investors provide subsidized capital in exchange for impact transparency. Partner Companies must report on the social impact of clients at least once per loan term.

Repayment: eMicrocredit automatically reports payments based on expected client repayment schedule. A Partner Company needs to report when a payment is off schedule. eMicrocredit automatically nets out reported repayments from new funds originated on the website each month, reducing the need for organizations to wire funds back to eMicrocredit.
