A New LendLedger Community Expert:
Last week LendLedger was thrilled to announce that it had joined The Smart Campaign’s Fintech Protects Community of Practice. Best practice in relation to responsible lending lays at the heart of the LendLedger project. As such who would be more of a natural choice to welcome in to the LendLedger fold than Isabelle Barres, Vice President at the Center for Financial Inclusion at Accion. Isabelle is a deeply inspiring individual who is committed to helping ensure the LendLedger mission for financial inclusion is carried with the highest ethical standards in place.

New Press Coverage
This week LendLedger welcomed an exciting range of coverage ranging from an interview with our CEO Gautam Ivatury in Russian news source Zaim to a blog post on ICO Spotters on how LendLedger is bridging the 8 trillion dollar global lending gap. Also make sure to read our feature in NextBillion’s on why it’s time for social enterprises to embrace blockchain. We believe that through this global, decentralized technology the pervasive $8 trillion credit gap, resulting from 200 million+ small businesses unable to get funding, can be bridged.
