Credit score and microfinance: I once had a intern in Grameen Foundation and my work is about the loan applications from the poor people. In the U.S., the poor people will not get a very good credit score. (or don't have any credit score) Because of this, the banks do not want to lend them money. All they can ask is the microfinance organizations. I saw lots poor people, they really need money from the banks. But they are not able to get loans from them because of their bad credit score and credit report. The good thing about this microfinance is that they will not consider things like credit score or credit report at all. It cares more about the applicants' personality. If the applicant is poor but he/she is honest and condifent about his/her future, he/she can still get loans from these microfinance organizations. In my point of view, this is not just about money. This is about giving hopes and chances to the poor people. Although it is not smart to lend money to the poor people with band credit score in most American people's mind, the poor people still need a chance to pursuing better lifes in the realistic capitalism system.
