The data is securely stored in a decentralized network. Karma app is decentralized too and executes in different servers.
Anyone can connect the server to the Karma delegates' network and earn money storing and processing data.

Different Types of Collateral
Cryptocurrencies and tokens, via bitShares technology. Real Estate. There's already an API in Russia, Sweden, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine and there'll be more. Goods and services. Automatic p2p-factoring is already exist. Gold and other digitalized assets: Digix, ChronoBank, BankEx.
Every debt is transferable and splittable.Loan can be provided in fiat currencies via banking API
and automatic payment commentaries analysis.
After the statistics accumulation: loans issued in internal Karma tokens. A huge step to barter direct interchange economy.

Total Automation
All interaction processes in the ecosystem are automated as much as possible and don't require a physical presence: electronic loan and surety contracts, reassignment of obligations, collective claims, collateral registration and release, currency exchange risk insurance.
Loan approval time is as low as possible,
and the loan itself is easy-to-use for borrowers: semi-automated scoring, one escrow account for bulk repayments for all investors, payment auto-split to multiple investors via smart-contract.

Smart Scoring
Automated scoring: Big Data, Machine learning. Scoring based on reputation accumulated after several successfully completed contracts. Social networks attached, online commercial data attached (Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, Ali, Spark). API for external scoring algorithms. Regular online re-scoring: control over actual borrowers' KPIs. Lots of hackathons for developing new scoring algorhytms.
Social-responsible ecological scoring: If someone haven't passed the scoring at traditional bank, he's just get refused. In Karma he gets the tips on how to grow his score, he also gets the mentors list and special education courses.

Mutual Responsibility
Each participant of the transaction commits with his money and reputation. We create strong community based on mutual responsibility. If somebody fulfilled the obligation, his Karma is growing up. If he failed —it goes down.
Also, Karma changes for everyone involved in contract: who brought the borrower into the ecosystem, who sureted for him, who scored his quote as positive.

Business Development
Powerful tool for ecosystem growth.
Goods and services manufacturers can easily involve their loyal customers as an investors in the growth of their business. If someone loves the goods they can crowdfund the manufacturer.
Karma itself is not only a financial market. It creates opportunities to promote manufacturers worldwide, involve new distributors, and move to the new markets.

Loans For Future Delivery
One can sell his goods or services today and deliver them later. It's like a forward contract, for example: to crowdfund real estate construction at the early stages (day-usage-tokens instead of square meters), agricultural businesses to crowdfund their harvesting
(potato-tokens), for air tickets or tours presales.
Profitable for investors: significant discounts, or re-selling tokens at the exchange for profit.
Profitable for manufacturers: make money today, make turnover faster, promote his own goods and services, payments with his own goods and services.
This is a foundation for the barter economy like Swiss WIR.
