1. Introduction: About Us
Bankuish is a free application that converts your work history and reputation data into a credit score accepted by banks, which we call a "Bankuish Score". You will receive pre-approved offers for you and will be able to unlock new offers as your credit score increases. You'll be able to track changes in your score automatically through your app.
You will be able to join ROSCAs (Tandas in Spanish), and manage your Tandas online, inviting your friends to join you. You can also meet your goals by joining other Bankuish users with similar goals in a public Group.
At Bankuish we strive to be a responsible company, we are committed to helping the self-employed, independent contractors and part-time or project-based workers who are organizing their own projects. The Bankuish App enables the self-employed to access credit while helping banks reduce the risk of individuals who do not have a traditional credit score, such as FICO.

By making use of our Services, you consent to the collection and use of the same (as set out in our Privacy Policy), including your transfer to other countries or third parties for storage, processing, dissociation and use.
We will at all times follow applicable law, as we inform you in our Privacy Policy.
4.1 How do our Services work?
Create your Profile and Log In
In order to access our Services, you must register with Bankuish and maintain an active account. To create your account, you must enter the information required in the forms provided, such as identification data, contact information, among others, and you will create a personal password which will be used to access your account at any time. The information that we require from you will be treated with the highest security standards, in terms of our Privacy Policy. By creating your account with us, you agree that the information you provide will be true, accurate, complete, current and verifiable. As a User, you are responsible for such information, as well as you declare to have read, understood and accepted the Privacy Policy that is available on the App and our website.
In the event that your User information at the time of creating your account proves to be false, inaccurate, incomplete, not updated or not verifiable, so that it is impossible to verify and identify the User, Bankuish shall have the right to temporarily or permanently suspend immediately and without prior notice the User's account, and we may also unilaterally terminate the contract we have with you and you will not be able to access our Services. The User is liable at all times for any damages ultimately caused to Bankuish or any third party, such as Bank Partners. The truthfulness and authenticity of the data provided by Users is an essential requirement for the maintenance of the account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the use of the Services is based on good faith between the parties, by virtue of which Bankuish shall have no obligation (but shall retain the right, exercisable at any time) to verify the authenticity and/or accuracy of the information provided by the User.
As a User, you may access and modify or update your account information at any time.
You agree to keep your account username and password secure and secret, and only you will be able to access your account, unless you have obtained written authorization from us to allow others to access your account. As a user, you will be required to log in and allow us access to work accounts, such as Uber, Rappi, Didi, among others; as well as to provide us with certain other Personal Data as detailed in the Privacy Policy, including your bank details.
As our user, you agree that you are solely responsible for anything that may happen to your account, also, you must keep updated your address, email address and other contact information in the Bankuish profile.
In the event that you have an active loan or product (due or to become due) with any Bankuish banking partner, you further agree to repay your loans in a timely manner. Failure to repay these loans may result in the termination of the Services you receive, and you agree that failure to repay loans may result in the permanent loss of your Bankuish user account, without prejudice to any legal action that may be taken.
In the event of theft or loss of the User's personal password, the User agrees to immediately notify Bankuish through its user service area, with the understanding that the User will be solely responsible for any damages that may be caused by third parties through the use of the User's account.
The User may cancel his or her account at any time, except if you have an active loan or product (due or to become due) with any Bankuish banking partner, with the understanding that Bankuish shall not be liable for any loss of information that may occur during such process. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the User acknowledges that cancellation of the account does not release the User from any obligation or liability previously incurred by the User to Bankuish and/or any third party, such as Bankuish's Banking Partners.
Furthermore, the User agrees that Bankuish may at any time and without prior notice, temporarily or permanently suspend the User's account, in the event that in Bankuish's sole discretion, the User makes use of the account in contravention of any provision of these Terms and Conditions, whereby the User releases Bankuish from any liability arising from such suspension.
Requirements to become a Bankuish User
In order to be a user of Bankuish you must be of legal age in terms of the legislation applicable to the United Mexican States. The Services offered in the App may only be used by those persons who, in accordance with the applicable legislation, have the capacity to contract.
Also, you must accept the Privacy Policy and these Terms and Conditions, as well as provide the necessary information to prepare your Bankuish Score and your Bankuish Report, without which it will not be possible for us to provide you with the Services.
Your Bankuish Score and Pre-Approved Loans
As a user, you agree and acknowledge that you consent to the method used to develop your Bankuish Score, and the development of your Bankuish Report, which will be shared with potential future lenders, our Banking Partners, who will have access to this information, which will be provided with an anonymous identification number, with which they can offer pre-approved loans to you.
You consent to the processing and transfer of your information to our Banking Partners and third parties in order to fulfill our Services, as set forth in these Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy. It is essential that we provide this information to financial institutions, so that they can offer you pre-approved loans for you. Also, by continuing to use the App and our Services you consent to our continuing to do so. You may choose to accept the loan or not, but in case of accepting it you will have a payment obligation with the financial institution that grants it to you.
Your Bankuish Score will be compiled with the following information: income history (35%), satisfaction rate (30%), length of income history (15%), income mix (10%) and credit building (10%). Your Bankuish Score takes into account both positive and negative information from your Bankuish Report. The percentages reflect the importance of each of the categories in determining how Bankuish Scores are calculated. The Bankuish Score is calculated based on the five categories mentioned above, for some people, the importance of these categories may be different. For example, the scores of people who have not been working long will be calculated differently than those who have a longer earning history.
Your Bankuish Report and Bankuish Score evolve frequently. Therefore, it is not possible to measure the exact impact of a single factor in calculating your Bankuish Score without examining your entire Bankuish Report. Even the levels of importance shown in the categories above are for the general population and may be different for different credit profiles. In addition, as the information in your Bankuish Report changes, so does the evaluation of these factors in determining your Bankuish Score. By using the Bankuish App, registering and having an account with us, you agree to the method we use to calculate your Bankuish Score and your Bankuish Report.
Bankuish does not offer loans directly, through our App we will transfer your information anonymously with our Banking Partners to whom we provide a referral service. Our Banking Partners will be able to offer you loans, based on your Bankuish Report and Bankuish Score. Thanks to the way we calculate your Bankuish Score, you will be able to access pre-approved loans, even if you do not meet the requirements of a traditional credit score. Therefore, Bankuish does not guarantee that you will have access to loans, having an account does not guarantee that you will receive pre-approved offers, and having a high Bankuish Score does not mean that you will receive offers or that there will always be offers available to you.
The moment you agree to take out a loan with one of the financial institutions, our Banking Partners, through the Bankuish App, you will have a payment obligation to them. The Bankuish App does not allow you to make the payment of your loan, it is not possible to contact the financial institution through the app, it does not allow you to follow up on your loan, or anything similar. You agree and acknowledge that, at the time you accept the loan, Bankuish is not responsible for any damage or harm that may be caused to you, and that your relationship is with the financial institution.
4.2. Third Party Services
The Bankuish Services may be made available or accessible in connection with third party services and content, such as advertising and other content, that Bankuish does not control, and you acknowledge and agree that different terms and privacy policies may apply to your use of such third party services and content.
