Community Credit

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

The circle you have kept for years. The loans you repay. The money you set aside. Wiremi writes all of it down as Community Credit, a score of your own that moves with you across borders, and lends against it.

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 and above savings, and we made it count for something.

How circles work on Wiremi

The other end

Every transfer home lands with somebody who was waiting for it.

Sending money is how most people meet Wiremi. It is the first thing you do inside an account that is already keeping your record.

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 and the card, 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 wallet

Hold USDC and USDT in the same account, for money earned across borders.

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 the money you set aside and held, from your first month.

What Wiremi reads: Savings held · 10%
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 · 65%
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 repayment · 25%

Landing, the first lease, the first home. The first application is always the hardest, and it is never the one that measures you.

One account

Nine things it does, and all of them keep your record.

Circles, credit, loans, cards, transfers, savings, a stablecoin wallet, an advisor and a business profile, on one verified identity. Here is each of them, with the person it was built for and the screen they would be looking at.

01 · Circles

Keep the circle you already trust. Now it counts.

Njangi, esusu, susu, tontine, paluwagan, tanda, kye. Run it on Wiremi with automatic contributions, a payout order everyone can see and an optional reserve. Every contribution that clears is written to your record.

02 · Community Credit

A score built from promises kept, not years in one country.

Circle faithfulness, loan repayment and savings held add up to a score from 300 to 900, recomputed as you go, with every weight published. It is yours, it moves with you, and nothing is filed with a credit bureau.

  • 300 to 900
  • Circles 65%, loans 25%, savings 10%

03 · Loans

Borrow on your record. Or fund someone else on theirs.

Your band sets the ceiling on the rate you can be charged. One benefactor funds each whole loan, so a member with savings can put them to work for someone whose record has earned it.

  • 3 to 24 month terms
  • Rate ceiling set by band
  • 1.5% processing fee

Money home, with the fee and arrival time on screen before you send.

Bank or mobile money, Canada to home, and Wiremi to Wiremi free and instant. The rate, the fee and when it lands are shown before you confirm, and the person on the other end feels it the same afternoon.

06 · Savings goals

Put money where impulse cannot reach it.

Regular goals you can dip into, Normal Block that costs 5% to close early, and Safe Lock that stays shut until it matures. Goals pay no yield; what they earn is standing, because savings held counts toward your score.

  • Regular, Normal Block, Safe Lock
  • Locked to a date
  • Savings held is 10% of the score

07 · Stablecoin wallet

A wallet for USDC and USDT, for freelancers and families who earn across borders. Dollar pegged coins only, held in your own account next to everything else you keep on Wiremi.

08 · Ori

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

Ask what moved your score, what a second circle would cost, or whether a debit lands before your pay does. Ori reads and drafts. You decide every amount, and it never moves money.

  • Explains, compares, drafts
  • Never moves money
  • You confirm everything

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: 300 to 900, recomputed continuously, with every weight published. Three things build it, and the largest by far is the one no other lender counts.

Everything about cards

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
  • Give personal investment, tax or legal advice
  • Invent a number it cannot show you

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

Ori explaining a change in the user's Community Credit

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.
