Definitions

  • the present invention relates to microfinancing services. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and a method for microcredit repayment via a plurality of strategically placed repayment kiosks.
  • Microcredit or microloan is the extension of very small loans particularly to cater those in poverty or in underbanked or poorly banked communities. It also caters to businesses and entrepreneurs, too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. The people from impoverished and poor community lack collateral, a verifiable credit history and steady employment which are needed to meet the requirements of a typical loan. Microcredit does not require its borrower to fulfill all these requirements. Microcredit is usually used to encourage and spur entrepreneurship towards people from the poor community. The facility of microcredit gives the opportunity to the poor to start businesses and eventually escape from poverty. Microcredit are usually used by borrowers, entrepreneurs and petty traders particularly to buy raw goods in bulk or purchase equipments to start off a business.
  • microcredit is viewed as a means to improve the quality of life of the poor and not merely for bringing monetary gain to the financial institutions. Since microcredit is catered to mainly people from the poor community, it is common in third world and developing countries.
  • MFI microfinance institutions
  • NGOs governmental and non-goyemmental organizations
  • the funding for such MFIs usually involve charitable donations but this may not be true in all cases.
  • Recent research has shown that there are almost 13 million microcredit borrowers and the volume is growing at 30 percent annually. While microcredit borrowers lack collateral and credit history, research has shown that the repayment rate is a stunning 97 percent. This is much higher in comparison to normal personal loans or housing loans. The reason the repayment rate is so high is most likely because the amount borrowed is small, ranging from a few hundred dollars to about $25,000 and because of the profile of the borrowers and their relationships with the representative from the MFI.
  • the frequency of repayment is also high, such that instalment payments may be done on a daily, weekly or fortnightly basis. Borrowers repay their loans to ensure continued access to the microcredit service in the future and to protect their reputation and relationships within the community
  • MFI Even though many MFI does not require collateral, credit history or steady income, some MFI still require business equipment or business assets to be used as collateral for microcredit. Some may even require a personal guarantor for microcredit approval. However, in most cases of microcredit facility, the MFI focuses on the potential of its borrowers rather than their past record. In situations where traditional loans are not possible, microcredit serves as a vote of confidence in the ability of the individual to reverse his/her fortune and become financially independent.
  • Microcredit tend to translate to much higher administrative cost in comparison to normal loans.
  • MFI had to review and modify the usual credit business model.
  • interest is not charged; instead administrative fees are imposed on borrowers.
  • the rate of microcredit interest tends to be higher than conventional interest.
  • microcredit is small in value, for the same amount of money, microcredit can be offered to more borrowers compared to normal lending. This results in increased administrative cost which is covered by the higher interest charges or administrative fees. For the rest of this document, interest and administrative fees may be grouped as fees that adds to the amount loaned. The administrative cost may also be contributed by having representatives from the MFI travel to the premises of the borrowers to collect the installment payments since the borrowers are typically located in poor, and therefore, rural community, making it hard for them to travel to the MFI to make the installment payments.
  • PCT patent publication WO 2009/086089.
  • the patent publication disclosed a method, program product and a system for advancing funds to a banking customer through online access interface with the bank.
  • the method also includes decrementing the total available line of credit by the cumulative amount of one or more preselected increments provided for the customer transaction and a predetermined fee amount for each preselected increment of funds.
  • the prior art mainly describes the management of micro-loans from the. point of awarding a first micro-loan and continuous micro-loans to a borrower.
  • the prior art does not suggest the usage of strategically placed kiosk for accepting recurring repayments from the borrower.
  • US patent publication 2010/0030687 disclosed a financial management system to facilitate the transfer of funds among accounts held at different financial institution and over different networks. While the system disclosed is useful for micro-deposits and most likely useful for microcredit repayment, the prior art does not suggest the usage of kiosk for receiving payment from the borrowers. Transfer of funds cannot be aptly applied to borrowers of microcredit as the borrowers of microcredit would most likely not have access to computers. Therefore there is a need for a system and a method for microcredit repayment that is convenient and uses means for accepting repayment which is placed strategically in areas of high borrower population to cater to the needs of the client.
  • the system and method for microcredit repayment comprises a plurality of repayment kiosks for receiving payment from users of the system.
  • the plurality of repayment kiosks are connected to each other to form a network.
  • the network is linked to either to a plurality of server or an Internet cloud or both through a network switch.
  • the system comprises of at least one financial entity for awarding microcredit to borrowers.
  • the repayment kiosks of the system are strategically placed in areas of high microcredit borrower population and of easy access to the users, particularly within the poor and rural community.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de remboursement de microcrédit, qui comprennent des kiosques de remboursement (100) permettant de recevoir un paiement provenant d'emprunteurs. Les kiosques de remboursement (100) forment un réseau (110) qui se connecte à une pluralité de serveurs (140 - 142) et/ou à un nuage Internet (150) par l'intermédiaire d'un commutateur de réseau (160). Le système comprend au moins une entité financière (180) qui octroie des microcrédits à des emprunteurs. Les kiosques de remboursement (100) sont placés dans des zones dans lesquelles la population d'emprunteurs de microcrédit est élevée et dans des zones rurales et accessibles aux pauvres, ainsi que dans d'autres communautés peu équipées en banques. Des données d'emprunteurs et des coupures de paiement sont introduites par l'intermédiaire d'un programme installé dans les kiosques (100), et sont transmises à la ou aux entité(s) financière(s)(180) par le nuage Internet (150) ou par la pluralité des serveurs (140 - 142), par l'intermédiaire d'une connexion ou d'un protocole sécurisé(e).
