| Presentation: Blockchain @ Kiva.org | Matthew Davie, Chief Strategy Officer, Kiva | - Kiva exists because the world isn't fair
- 97% repayment rate,
- system was set up, by accidental design, to not include everyone in the financial system
- DLT allows us to fix
- Data exists in silos, if we could federate data behind individual, rather than among institutions, provide credit history to port up value chain
- Kiva Protocol is very low cost protocol that enables systemic financial inclusion
- Not about using Kiva
- All the banks have MIS', Kiva helps run KYC checks
- New global standard for eKYC, less info, less time, >>>unlock flow to financial inclusion, financial system will touch everyone, requiring less aid
- Libra: why they signed up: libra is at nexus of regulated and nonregulated. Felt worthwhile to explore this effort due to Facebook's global reach,
- How fingerprint is used? Not used as identity
- It's hard work, but there is no competition to build
