The last mile

1.4 billion adults are still locked out of finance.

Most of them are not unbankable. They're just unseen by legacy credit models built for paperwork and payslips. PhotonMatters reads the signals the old system ignores: mobile usage, airtime, cashflow and repayment behaviour. A first fair loan is possible with nothing but a phone.
