Our founding team experienced first-hand how global banking was stuck with archaic credit data and scoring technologies of the 70s. They were not designed for emerging countries, underbanked consumers or non-banking businesses.
We knew it would take a different kind of company to rebuild Big Data scoring technology from the ground up for the Information Age. We founded TrustingSocial to help banks redefine their relationships with customers and connect to billions of unbanked consumers in the world.
We are reinventing credit scoring for the Information Age.
Marketplace lending is disrupting retail banking by leveraging proprietary Big Data credit scoring technologies. Our mission is to make the technologies available to as many businesses as possible.
We believe building trust online should be simple. We make our TrustingSocial Authenticity Score available for free to everyone in the world, so that they can build trust instantly with each other
We bring together expertise in credit risk modelling, machine learning and Big Data.
