Reliable and Comprehensive Data on Borrowers


There is a lack of reliable and comprehensive data on borrowers because this data is fragmented, not centralized, and does not cover the majority of the population, especially the unbanked or the marginalized.

Smile solves this by using employment data.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you secure your API?

All data from Smile API is encrypted at RSA 4096 with SHA-256 signing for maximum security. Additionally, Smile does not store end-user credentials at any point: we pass these directly to the data source's servers via TLS to initiate the process of information sharing.

Is your API compliant with the data privacy act?

Smile believes in the sanctity of one's privacy and that our users are the owners of their personal data, and should always be in full control when and to whom they share their data. Smile seeks to comply with all local laws around data privacy. In the Philippines, we comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and we help users exercise their right to Data Portability under Section 18 of the Philippine Data Privacy Act.

Sharing users' data with our clients is done provided on a revocation-based model: only via explicit consent of the user via our SDK. Users can, at any point, revoke access to their data through this same means, making sure they are in full control when and to whom they share their own data.


All information is deleted and irretrievable once users have revoked access. Any other data is retained for 60 days, after which all personal data is anonymized.


We also maintain a Privacy Policy so you can be sure how your data is being used.

What data sources are available?

We have a wide range of data sources available for users to connect to, from social security institutions as well as various salary and gig platforms.


To see our full list of data sources, you can get free access to our developer portal and test our platform out for yourself. You may also book a call with us to find out more.

How scalable is your API?

Smile limits the amount of API calls that can be made to each endpoint to ensure the stability and availability of the platform for all users. At the moment we only allow clients a maximum of up to 20 requests per second per IP address across all API endpoints. Automatic expansion mechanisms and load balancing assure that service uptime is maintained.
