EFL provides creditors with a psychometric evaluation of those seeking loans without a credit history. The test asks questions which do not necessarily have right answers. The assessment seeks to evaluate personal initiative, situational judgement, creativity and business acumen.
Standard Bank adopted EFL's model in 2008 and by 2013 had used it to lend more than $200 million to entrepreneurs who would have otherwise not qualified for a loan. The average loan amounts were $7,500, according to Standard Bank.
