Banking Loans Quotes

“Even as a former Banker I can see that the Blockchain and Ethereum are challenging the role of traditional banks. I think at some point, traditional banks will become irrelevant and ultimately non existent. Instead, the global standard of how people manage finances will be centered around the blockchain and apps built on Ethereum. Because of this, people and businesses will experience much more financial freedom. And that’s a good thing. So let these big banks collapse - something far better is going to replace them.”

To put simply, when you apply for a loan, the CBS gives the licensed moneylender your credit report. This credit report reflects your credit information such as credit history, repayment track, and in some cases default records, lawsuit, and bankruptcy reports. This valuable information is collected from financial institutions and other public data resources (like subpoena and data of bankruptcy) which is part of CBS.

The Banking Act allows the CB to get such customer’s confidential data and produce a “complete risk profile.” CBS follows a stringent code of conduct to protect the consumer’s data privacy. Only the official members of CBS can access and use the credit information. Licensed money lender should not disclose any information about their clients’ credit background to any third party. The CB also cannot collect customer’s personal data such as contact numbers, home address, credit limit, and salary.

Now that you finally know who helps licensed money lender to decide your loan’s approval, you should now know that borrowing money is not as simple as it sounds. Multiple agencies are working together to check whether you are worthy of the money.”
