Fintech company Recordent has launched a shared credit information platform for not-for-profit microfinance institutions (MFIs), aiming to help lenders identify borrowers with multiple loans and curb over-indebtedness. The MFI Credit Registry will allow Section 8 MFIs-non-profit lenders that provide small-ticket loans primarily to low-income households-to share borrower loan and repayment data through a common platform before sanctioning fresh credit, an official said.
