The Fever about cryptocurrency is increasing, people have heard about it, and more and more people want to find more about it, and find a way to be a part of it. When blockchain technology came, so many things changed, for better, we say. So many businesses have improved, so many companies have started using crypto currencies in their work. The new ideas are coming every day. People want to invest in the new projects. We have the biggest tool in the world, and it is called the Internet. The internet is an enormous base of information where we can do anything. Internet has connected the entire world. One of these projects is UNION

Union is an Indian company targeting Indian market, of approximately 400 Million Millennial, and market size is around 200 Billion USD. However, given the public ledger system of our blockchain technology, the platform is available for use by lenders all over the globe.

Union has established expertise in offline community lending system and as well in generating online ifnancial services in the lending sector. We want to take our services to another level to give the users our platform the best possible experience by leveraging the power of blockchain technology and smart contract system to improve the peer-to-peer lending process.

Union first initiative is to put Collectively Investment Schemes, also known as trusted lending circle, or Rotating and Savings Credit Association (ROSCA) on blockchain. Collectively Investment Schemes is used around the world to lend and save money within communities, to support each other financially.

As the existing Collectively Investment Schemes work on silos within the separate communities, traditionally it is very hard to leverage the reputation and trust outside of one's trusted circle. With Union social capital gained can be utilize across the platform, as the solution is decentralized, transparent, secure and auditable. This will help us in creating an ecosystem of financial products, which users can avail, based on their reputation.

GOAL

The Union project aims to provide an alternative decentralized lending solution to individuals and small businesses with the use of the innovative blockchain technology. The Union Blockchain lending platform supports both Cryptocurrency and fiat money.

The Vision

To create an e-democratic financial ecosystem for banked and unbanked individuals, on blockchain technology while making use of trusts, commitments, and social capital.

The Mission

To improve the financial inclusion of the individual by leveraging the blockchain technology. We are going to do this by removing the inefficiencies in the existing system, and automating the different processes of lending and borrowing. Union will focus on developing portfolio of financial products that will use social capital and trusts of an individual.

The Problem

Traditional lending institutions maintain rigorous regulatory and loan approval requirements to protect the end-user. As a result, a large porson of the world’s population does not have access to lending services.

Individuals who did not fulfill a compulsory minimum credit history and small businesses operating in emerging markets find it difficult to gain access to the traditional financial system. This has given rise to an increasing demand for peer-to-peer lending services.

The Solution

Union proposed solution through the blockchain technology implementation. The rapid advancement of blockchain technology has led to a fundamental shift away from conventional lenders being the leading intermediary in the lending industry. Peer to peer lending is gaining momentum as the next development in the financials sector. Union leverages the added of both blockchain and cryptocurrency to improve the experience of both lenders and borrowers. We have therefore, developed a platform, which supports cryptocurrency and fiat currency for the purposes of peer-to-peer lending.
