A new blockchain-based credit access initiative is launching in Colombia. Ripple, working with WEIA and Mercy Corps, has launched a pilot program on the XRP Ledger to provide farmers with increased financial opportunities. The project’s goal is to improve access to credit for underbanked farmers, fostering financial inclusion through blockchain technology. Ripple acts as the foundation for this project, collaborating with digital ID startup WEIA and international organization Mercy Corps. The pilot program targets specifically those in Colombia who lack traditional banking access. While the exact details of the initiative are not yet public, it is expected to have a positive impact on Colombian farmers’ ability to obtain credit. The pilot program aims to address existing accessibility gaps in the agricultural sector.
