L'objectif de Yelloan est de rendre le crédit accessible au plus grand nombre, et notamment aux personnes écartées du système bancaire traditionnel car ne répondant pas à certains critères de stabilité. CDD, intérim, manque d’ancienneté dans l’emploi ou dans la relation bancaire sont autant de motifs de refus de la part des banques. Ces personnes ne trouvent pas non plus de réponse satisfaisante dans les plateformes de financement participatif classiques ou dans le prêt entre amis, le montant nécessaire au financement du projet étant trop important. Aussi, nous avons imaginé pour elles une solution intermédiaire : la garantie participative. Notre service innovant de garantie participative permet d’utiliser les amis de l’emprunteur comme tiers de confiance dans l’opération de crédit : ils remettent une somme d’argent en garantie, bloquée pendant toute la durée du crédit. La garantie participative vient consolider l’engagement de l’emprunteur vis-à-vis de notre partenaire financier. Véritable gage de confiance, elle permet à celui-ci de s’engager à son tour et de répondre favorablement à la demande de financement. Vos amis vous font confiance ? Nous aussi. Yelloan is a community service aimed at facilitating the access to consumer credit for individuals. On a dedicated internet platform, the credit applicant receives pledges from his friends and family, solicited through social networks such as Facebook. The pledged money is then used as a guarantee for the credit, thereby reducing the risk taken by the lender. Yelloan is typically serving people who, while solvent, do not have access to consumer credit due to the banks being unable to assess their ability to pay (e.g. people who are employed with a temporary contract).
