They argue that, if lenders move to verifying identity using blockchains, it will lower costs. Eventually, with the cost of trust reduced, lenders will be able to lend to larger coalitions and offer more tailored lending products. It\u2019s a win-win situation for both lenders and consumers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rpbt_shortcode\">\n\n<div id='rpbt-related-gallery-1' class='gallery related-gallery related-galleryid-7406 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='18 payment predictions for 2019'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/18-payment-predictions-for-2019\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/18-payment-predictions-for-2019-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-12135\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-12135'>\n\t\t\t\t18 payment predictions for 2019\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='National Bank of Kazakhstan preparing reforms that will affect online microlenders'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/national-bank-of-kazakhstan-preparing-reforms-that-will-affect-online-microlenders\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Artboard-1-\u043a\u043e\u043f\u0438\u044f-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-9862\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-9862'>\n\t\t\t\tNational Bank of Kazakhstan preparing reforms that will affect online microlenders\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item' role='group' aria-label='APMs for B2B payments: an increasing market'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/en\/apms-for-b2b-payments-an-increasing-market\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/bulletins.bfconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/apms-for-b2b-payments-an-increasing-market-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"rpbt-related-gallery-1-13360\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='rpbt-related-gallery-1-13360'>\n\t\t\t\tAPMs for B2B payments: an increasing market\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A panel discussion of experts on blockchain technology was held during the American Banker\u2019s Digital Lending and Investing conference.
