Why Michu ?
Financial sector in Ethiopia doesn’t have a relevant, appropriate, scalable, and digitized means of assessing the credit worthiness of MSMEs without some sort of guarantee. Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) do not have sufficient collateral assets to unlock credit from banks. This is mainly attributed to lack of collateral, lack of appropriate technology, and difficulty connecting to the digital economy.
Michu enables Coopbank to fulfill financial needs of MSMEs without any form of collateral, customers can boost efficiency and do more with less by reducing “The time to yes” from weeks to minutes.
Speedy Loan Analysis
Several pieces of data are consumed to appraise and process customer loan requests. However, for Michu, several digital data sources are used to inform credit decisions. These variables are assembled into computerized decision trees and substitute manual decision-making processes.
Features of Michu
Ease of Application Process
Coopbank's adoption of Michu has improved its ease of doing business by streamlining lending processes and removing geographical barriers. With standardized processes and accurate data, lending decisions can now be made more quickly and consistently. Borrowers can initiate loan applications from anywhere, at any time, without the need for physical movement. By uploading the necessary documents online, the Michu platform can rapidly communicate loan decisions, further enhancing the ease and convenience of the process.
Short Loan Processing Period
This is another major differentiating factor between conventional lending and the Michu Loan. It could take weeks, sometimes even months, to process applications and disburse the required funds if the regular loan processing methods are followed in the current banking system in the country. On the other hand, digital lenders can process your application within a few minutes and the funds can reach your bank account within a second. This is highly ideal, especially when you want a quick loan to supplement your financial needs.
Availability of Low Amount of Loans
The financial dynamics of Michu loans are fundamentally different from conventional loan products in that loan sizes are generally small and loan terms are short.
Remote Customer Relations Management
Because most transactions occur through digital channels, in-person interactions between borrowers and lenders are limited in digital credit delivery. Customers are managed remotely, with digital follow-up and collection. The digital nature of lending addresses traditional credit products' geographic access barriers and increases financial inclusion.
Credit Score Based Decision
Michu loan decisions are based on the credit score of the customer. The loan amount, loan duration, and interest rate are determined by the credit score of the applicant. The higher the credit score of the customer, the higher the loan limit, the higher the loan duration, and the smaller the interest rate would be.
Collateral Free Loan
Michu loan does not require any form of collateral. Unlike the conventional lending system, the credit worthiness of the MSME is solely decided.
