Is there any truth to the fact that an individual needs to be known in any place before they can qualify to receive loans?
That is, is the need to be known or identified really required to qualify for a loan?
What are thoughts?
My thought is not single, and infact it is conflicting but I will try my best to explain. I had known the traditional loan method which the bank uses for so long and I have always thought that before you could get a loan, you must be known by the institution offering the loan and again you must have a tangible collateral to present which in my country is mostly landed properties.
But when I arrived this forum, although it took many years to discover the lending board. On getting to know the lending board, I was surprised to understand that people give non collateral loan to pals they do not know in person. Little did I know that the bitcointalk account itself is a collateral. Now I have understood that even $20k cannot make me destroy my account.
So, answering OP, if there is a collateral, knowing someone in-person is no longer necessary.
Also, lendors of this forum cant really just grant out any loan request even if it doesnt have that collateral. You would really be Indepth checked whether you are really that approved on getting a loan or not
which it would be usually be having this kind of consideration;
1. Must have an active campaign
2. Doesnt have red trust
3. Merit count
4. Forum Rank
5. Activeness in the forum
6. Vouch from someone(which is unlikely)
If you dont have those qualities or criterias then even if there lendors of this forum but still you cant really be able to get such approval or
being that eligible on getting one. Actually it is really that great that we do have something like this on the forum which the amount that being released
is already that significant or with those loan amount which you cant easily get on banks or getting approved but you could actually get on this forum
but it would be situational yet there are loans that would really be that more bigger if the collateral been offered is greater than on the loan amount which its standard.
(Most likely, collaterals are also crypto coins too).
About KYC or location then this would really be standard on bank loans but here on this forum then it wont really be necessary
but of course getting approved would really be that tough and not something that could really be that so easy.
