How to launch a pool

PreviousInvesting in a PoolNextOriginator Journey

Last updated 2 years ago

Now that you know how our pools work and the benefits of using the AmFi platform to structure your credit operation, let us take a look at the process of opening a pool.

To summarize the process:

  • After approval through our onboarding/KYP process, where we assess origination capacity and fraud history, among other things, the originator can configure their pool.

  • On the AmFi platform, Originators configure the they want to create - such as pool size, assets accepted as collateral, and dozens of others. AmFi's off-chain backend then deploys on-chain smart contracts according to those parameters.

  • These parameters, along with AmFi's rules for good risk management, form the Pool Policy. This is a set of written rules against which each loan and its collateral are validated (automatically and on-chain) before funds are released.

  • A pre-built Special Purpose Vehicle () is automatically bound to this pool with all the legal bindings required for the capital flow and custody of the financing operations.

  • The Originators themselves are responsible for providing or fund-raising a small amount of first-loss capital to be invested in the Pool (between 5% and 25% of the maximum size of the Pool ). This is one of the measures to align the interests of Originators and Investors.

  • Once the pool is invested with a certain amount of capital (the pool does not have to be fully filled to start operating), the originator can start operations, acquiring assets and making loans to its borrowers!

The first Originators were personally vetted by AmFi. Over time, anyone will be able to apply and go through AmFi's automated and independent process, and those who meet the requirements will be able to become Originators.
