Community Credit

Your record exists.
It has just never
been written down.

Rent. Utilities. The savings circle your family has run for generations. These are already evidence of how you handle money. Wiremi turns them into a score it lends its own money against.

The oldest credit system in the world already works. Nobody was writing it down.

Month 1 of 10

Amara takes the pot this month.

Everyone puts in $200. One person takes $2,000. Next month it is somebody else, until all ten have had a turn and the circle starts again.

Payout order

Nobody signs anything, and nobody defaults, because the person you would be defaulting on is at your mother’s funeral and your daughter’s wedding. That is a stronger enforcement mechanism than a collections letter, and it has been working for two hundred years.

It is also the strongest repayment signal in the file, so we weighted it heaviest. Above loans, above rent, above savings, and we made it count for something.

How circles work on Wiremi

Money movement

Sending money home is not the product. It is the enrolment.

Every remittance corridor treats the transfer as the whole relationship: you pay, it lands, you are done. On Wiremi the transfer is the first thing you do inside an ecosystem that is keeping your record: the wallet, the circle, the loan, the lease, all on one identity.

Wiremi to Wiremi

Instant and free. We hold nothing back.

Canada to home

Mobile money or bank, with the fee and the arrival time shown before you commit.

Stablecoin rails

On-ramp from fiat, send stablecoins anywhere, off-ramp where you need it.

The route, shown

Stablecoin settlement where it is faster and cheaper, fiat where it is not. You see which, before you send.

The first year

You arrive with a whole financial life. The country asks for a number you do not have.

A credit file is not a measure of whether you are good with money. It is a measure of how long you have been in one place. Cross a border and it resets to nothing.

01

The property manager

Do you have a credit score?

A file that measures how long you have stayed in one country. Wiremi reads twelve months of rent, paid on time, verified from the lease.

What Wiremi reads: Rent · 20%
02

The car dealership

Any credit history in Canada?

A history that resets at the border. Wiremi reads the circle you have never missed a turn in, here or at home.

What Wiremi reads: Circle faithfulness · 45%
03

The loan officer

Can anyone vouch for you?

A guarantor with a file of their own. Wiremi reads the loans you repaid and the ones you funded for someone else.

What Wiremi reads: Loan conduct · 25%

What we underwrite against

Community Credit is a score Wiremi lends its own money against.

Not a bureau score, and we never present it as one. It is ours: 0 to 1000, recomputed continuously, with every weight published. Four things build it, and the largest by far is the one no other lender counts.

Drag the marker, or use the arrow keys. Immediate approval as a peer benefactor. Wiremi sets the rate from your tier and your record. You accept it or you decline it, and no peer benefactor can change it.

Wiremi Verify

For businesses

A score is only worth what someone will read.

Verify is the other side of the platform. Lenders, landlords and property managers ask for a file by Credit ID, the person approves it in their Wiremi account, and they read exactly what was agreed, nothing more, and nothing without a yes.

What the score is for

A score you cannot spend is a certificate.

Community Credit is not a report card. What it buys changes as it moves, so here is one account at three points in its first year, and the three things that actually change.

Trusted also means immediate approval as a peer benefactor, funding somebody else at a rate you did not set.

Borrowing and lending

Savings and locks

Safe Lock held 9 months

Cannot be broken

Safe Lock cannot be opened until it matures, and the app says so before you choose it. That is the whole point of it.

With your approval a lender reads the whole record, scoped to what they asked and logged where you can see it.

How a check works

Ori

An advisor that reads your whole account and never touches it.

Ori explains what moved your score, what a second circle would cost you, and whether a debit lands before your pay does. It reads and it drafts. A person signs off on anything irreversible.

What it does
  • Reads every account you hold, in one pass
  • Explains what moved the score, and by how much
  • Compares a decision before you take it
  • Drafts the thing, and waits
What it never does
  • Move money, in any amount
  • Approve anything irreversible
  • Act without you confirming it
  • Appear on the home screen uninvited

“A suggestion, not an instruction. You decide every amount.”

Ori explaining a change in the user's Community Credit

Start the record

The first contribution counts. So does the first month of rent.

Everything runs in the app. Open an account, join or start a circle, and your file begins the day the first payment clears.
