Machine Learning (ML) Technologies for Digital Credit Scoring in Rural Finance: A Literature Review
Rural credit is one of the most critical inputs for farm production across the globe. Despite so many advances in digitalization in emerging and developing economies, still a large part of society like small farm holders, rural youth, and women farmers are untouched by the mainstream of banking tran...

Rural credit is one of the most critical inputs for farm production across the globe. Despite so many advances in digitalization in emerging and developing economies, still a large part of society like small farm holders, rural youth, and women farmers are untouched by the mainstream of banking transactions.
