Business Showcase : 7Seconds

Describe the company – the elevator pitch…

7Seconds is an existing fintech company, a marketplace for POS loans based on AI scoring. Now we are developing a blockchain platform for banks, which allows banks not to pay for scoring customers to whom they will not issue a loan. Under the existing system, all banks that have received a loan application, have to score a potential borrower. The lenders pay for credit information on the same applicant, who then chooses just one of them. The remaining lenders have wasted money and thus pass their costs on to customers by raising interest rates. So, we are building a decentralized unified data input protocol that is transparent, protected, and available to each lender in our ecosystem. Lenders will only have to pay for credit information on a customer to whom they issue a loan.

How are you different?

We have an already operable fintech business, good connections with banks and retailers and now we are developing a blockchain solution needed by banks. Thanks to blockchain technology, 7Seconds will make sure lenders get equal and immutable information, which will allow them to save significantly on credit scoring and, therefore, to lower their interest rates on loans.
