The machine learning-based system, with 98.5 percent loan repayment rate, allows them to assess the likelihood of a prospective loanee making their repayments in time.[5] Lending with its own funds, the company's lending operations turned a profit within two months of commercial launch in April 2017, and in September of 2017 reached 8'000 credit approved active users.[6]
