Verified and Passportable Financial Identity

Objective

Mifundo OÜ, an Estonian fintech founded in 2018, is developing the first cross-border AI and data platform. We provide a technology
layer to passport credit histories across borders through one single API. Today's bank lending is country-based and there is no solution available across the EU, making cross-border borrowing almost impossible. No single party, bank or credit bureau is interested in solving a problem that requires such a high investment. Mifundo is removing the barriers between people and banks in the EU that eliminate over 45 million people from having access to financial services, due to highly fragmented nature of data.
Despite being new to the market, Mifundo has achieved success, becoming a member of ACCIS (world's largest credit reference agency) and FinanceEstonia (financial sector representative organisation supporting the Estonian economy). Mifundo enables financially excluded European expats to access capital by passporting credit histories across borders, reducing loan disparities and discrimination by nationality, and improving financial literacy. Additionally, banks do not need to perform credit analysis as Mifundo provides it and ensures local compliance. By leveraging diverse data sources and generating new data points, the platform enhances the credit score model's accuracy.
The main objectives of the EIC Accelerator project are data collection and standardisation, credit risk score development, regulatory compliance and developing AI engine for credit risk assessment. This funding accelerates platform development, enhances risk assessments with cutting-edge technologies, establishes partnerships, ensures compliance and expands the user base. Mifundo aims to become the leading crossborder credit service provider in the EU.
