Hi all,
We recently made our Bitcoin crowd funding platform
BitGrants (
https://bitgrants.com) open to the public and all is going well so far! We've established our platform in 2016 and hope to incorporate our business early next year. By listing as a company, our directors, registered offices and share ownership will be made public via Companies House registry (U.K based company registry).
Our platform works through trust. A platform where Bitcoin borrowers and lenders meet to do business.
Each borrower has a Grade associated with their profile. The higher their grade the less risk involved in investing on said borrower. The grading system is based on the following levels of verification:
a).
Identity (passport, driving license or national photo ID card)
b).
Address (a recent utility bill clearly showing name and address)
c).
Income (tax return, income statement or payslip)
Besides paper verifications, we also have several automated verification systems. Such as linking the borrowers
Facebook,
Google and
Paypal to the site.
We hold personal information on our site, which is kept on secure servers. Our systems were developed by veteran programmers, who know how to harden a site against attacks.
The data we hold on our servers is protected by the Data Protection Act. Thus, we do not share/exchange/sell personal information with any third parties unless:
a). Required to do so by law
b). A borrower defaults and legitimate litigation is brought forward.
You can register with our site quite easily as we have incorporated both Google and Facebook login. As we know registration can sometimes be a hassle.
We hope to hear your feedback as our team has worked really hard to make this platform happen.
Thanks!
