It’s tough credit scoring at the bottom of the pyramid. We know!

It has worked for IluMéxico and could work for your organization too!
Step 1: Define possible criteria for loan performance
For IluMéxico, they used the following:
To help figure out a criteria, incorporate various dynamics of the community and its members. This will help you better understand potential loan performance.
Step 2: Programming your survey and assigning scores
The survey created by IluMéxico allows them to capture scores in TaroWorks. What IluMéxico did was define a score group which was the sum of all points based on the responses they received.
Remember with TaroWorks, you’re able to make credit scores available offline to field officers.
Step 3: Classify scores
IluMéxico used two parameters based on income and trust. When combined, they formed a credit classification system.
Step 4: Be patient and let the data roll in
IluMéxico began collecting data in September 2014 and by January 2016 they had finished 700 loans.
Remember things take time.

For example, IluMéxico did the following:
