Abstract

No consensus exists about the suitability of the implementation of credit sco- ring models for the assessment of the creditworthiness of a microcredit appli- cant. In this paper, a methodology is proposed in order to first determine, depending on the strategic focus of the MFIs, whether this implementation would be useful. For this discrimination, a matrix is designed which classifies the MFIs, according to their strategy, as potential or non-potential users of a credit-scoring system. To this end, a case-study methodology is employed which analyses three MFIs of widely differing profiles by means of a both quan- titative and qualitative survey whose aim is to seek empirical evidence which verifies the theoretical analysis performed
