In this time, we have underwritten >$9 million in consumer and small business (services, trade, agriculture) loans to over 12 thousand consumers with staggeringly low 0.7% portfolio-at-risk rate. Since booking first revenue earlier this year, we have surpassed 25% compounded monthly growth rate and reached financial break-even this month.As a complement to credit scoring, our product team has ventured into churn prediction in telecom sector through partnerships with 3 leading telcos in Central Asia.
