Weemba Puts Borrowers In Control of the Lending Process

Kicking off FinovateFall this year, Weemba demoed its social platform that matches borrowers and sellers. It allows borrowers to choose which lenders see their profile. With this platform:

“Borrowers create a profile under a nickname, and post a project to obtain financing from one of the many professional Lenders registered in Weemba. Besides the reason for and amount of a loan, profiles may include everything from the Borrower’s income, education level and veteran status (Individuals) to their number of employees, annual sales or revenues and articles of incorporation (Businesses). 

Lenders will be able to search projects created by those Borrowers and narrow them down by credit score, amount needed, location, type of loan and more. When a Lender finds an interesting project, the Lender then may ask the Borrower for access to their real identity, as well as private details about the project. Professional Lenders will be able to find the exact Borrowers they want, not information that is old, recycled, uncertain or vague. If the Borrower grants access to the Lender, all further contact and any negotiations take place outside Weemba.”
