11:43 Never Implement that. Imagine ruining someone life that they cant even get an apartment. This guy just cares about his wallet nothing else. People don't borrow loans because it's a luxury mostly they do that as a last resort having exhausted their friends or family first. And now for the them to get a job, apartment you want to add a credit score that system is broken completely even in the US. There has to be a better way than this. But whatever it is it should NEVER hinder your job or housing.
It's not super difficult... Give people a 25% interest loan of small amount. Test they know how to deal with credit facilities. If this is managed well, then offer them 8% instead of larger amount etc. Then have a united platform, so you can't keep creating bad debt.
Amazing to see what Mark has done with SmileID, especially across the African continent. Great job indeed...
Amazing insights! " Borrower's Ability to pay vs. willingness to pay"
