Benefits of Satellite Imagery for Financial Services

​

Earth Observation satellites, optical and RADAR - all weather, can capture data that traditional means cannot such as

​

  • Farm crop yields

  • Mapping of crops

  • Geo tagging farmland to specific farmers

  • Farm diversification

  • Planting cycles, and trends in production

  • Satellite data can guide ground data  and estimate yield at village level.  

  • Satellite data can reduce the transnational costs of reaching rural farmers and, ultimately, make finance more affordable for smallholder farmers.

  • Satellite imagery—in combination with demographics, financial, agronomic, geo-spatial, and psychometric data—provides sufficient detail on clients without an established credit history, to make lending decisions.

  • Post-loan support by utilizing satellite imagery to monitor the performance of loans through the cropping cycle

  • Space based data can reduce the cost, increase the credit approvals, and decrease turnaround time and non-performing loans.
     

With access to broad and reliable data - satellites, optical and RADAR , on factors like productivity, prices, and weather, financial institutions could forecast revenues, potential repayment deficits, timing of income
