• To elicit valuations (Willingness-To-Pay (WTP))
• To evaluate the effectiveness of three types of interventions in terms of the extent to which they can help (potential) borrowers’ access cheaper and/or larger loans:
- Price aggregator tool, requiring the user to collect the pricing data him/herself
- Information provision, in the form of a table showing the potential borrower the interest rate, its calculation method, and the various fees and charges associated with a comparable loan from different institutions.
- A price aggregator that at once provides the Total Cost of Credit for a comparable loan across institutions.
