MBC Zero-Knowledge Credit: Privacy for the Unbanked

When a DFI wants to verify a farmer's credit score, they usually demand the raw data: income, transactions, NDVI scores, repayment history. The farmer loses privacy.

MBC built a Zero-Knowledge Credit Verification system. A DFI can verify "this farmer's credit score is above 650" (YES or NO) without seeing the actual score, repayment amounts, or NDVI data.

Using SHA-256 commitments and zero-knowledge proofs, MBC generated 24 ZK proofs across 5 farmers in 0.021 seconds. 15 valid, 9 invalid. Chain integrity verified.

No African agri-fintech has zero-knowledge credit verification. Apollo has centralized scoring. MBC has privacy-preserving proofs.

Farmers deserve privacy. MBC provides it.
