How to Lend Money to Strangers

Credit scoring in Nigeria, from Jes Freemantle (Stratus Credit Consultancy)

In the very first episode of HTLMTS, Raymond Anderson mentioned a consultant who’d served as something of a mentor to him – Jes Freemantle. So it feels fitting that, to wrap up the year and the first season of the show, we have Jes himself on, talking about his current project building bureaus scores in Nigeria, as well as a career spent as a scorecard pioneer.Jes runs Stratus Credit Consultancy and can be found <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jes-freemantle-07474a5/?originalSubdomain=uk">via LinkedIn</a>You can learn more about Credit Registry and their SMARTScore at <a href="https://www.creditregistry.ng/category/smartscore/">https://www.creditregistry.ng/category/smartscore/</a>You can learn more about myself, Brendan le Grange, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanlegrange/">on my LinkedIn page</a> If you have any feedback, questions, or if you would like to participate in the show, please feel free to reach out to me at <a>brendan@howtolendmoneytostrangers.show</a>A full written transcript with timestamps can be found on <a href="https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes/episode-12">HowtoLendMoneytoStrangers.Show</a>You can also find my <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brendan-le-Grange/e/B013A8R876">pulpy action-adventure novels in all their formats on Amazon</a> Hosted on Acast.

A podcast about lending in all its forms and in all the markets in which it takes place, however diverse those markets may be. In fact, it’s a case of ‘the more diverse the better’ with guests from New York to New Zealand, talking about everything from crypto-backed mortgages to crowd-funded loans for refugees. I am the host, Brendan le Grange, and I have spent the last twenty years working in - or alongside - lenders across Africa, Asia, and Europe and I’ll be using that experience to find and learn from industry insiders in a series of weekly interviews. Sometimes, those interviews discuss the inspiration behind a new start-up, sometimes they look back at a career spent at the lending coal face, and sometimes they explore where the latest technologies might take us. In the end, if it shapes a lending decision, we’ll talk about how. You can join us every Thursday here, or wherever you prefer to find your podcasts.
