The integrity scores are based on human capital management information and peer-submitted feedback. These micro loan system receives a loan transaction request from a borrower- user, and determines a risk score for the loan transaction based the borrower's integrity score. The micro-loan system identifies potential lenders based on the determined transaction risk and the lenders' integrity scores. The micro-loan system facilitates a negotiation between the borrower and the potential lenders to determine transaction terms. When terms are finalized, the loan transaction and the transaction terms are recorded in a distributed ledger, and loan funds are remitted to the borrower. Upon repayment of the loan transaction, the micro-loan system solicits feedback from the borrower and the lender, and updates the respective integrity scores based on received feedback.
