Reall initiatives published in prestigious journal
The latest edition of Enterprise, Development and Microfinance, a highly respected and competitive research journal, showcases Reall’s climate-smart affordable housing solutions in two peer-reviewed papers, as part of a special issue on housing.
Digital credit scoring for affordable housing finance: Syntellect and Reall in urban India
Written by Dr Andrew Jones, the paper highlights Reall’s partner Syntellect, and their innovative housing finance tool, RightProfile.
RightProfile is a customer profiling platform designed to help lenders accurately assess the credit risk of potential clients who are unbanked, or new to credit get access to mortgages, enabling people to own an asset.
In summary:
- Reall’s partnership has catalysed Syntellect’s growth as a business and accelerated the use of RightProfile’s credit-scoring platform within lenders and developers in India
- Syntellect’s RightProfile platform highlights the potential for Indian firms to utilise innovative technologies to affordable housing finance challenges, widening inclusion for otherwise under-served customers
- Syntellect and Reall also share a vision to adapt RightProfile to rapidly urbanising sub-Saharan Africa, where the need is huge and housing finance sectors are comparatively underdeveloped
