Assurance of repayment doesn't need to be a feature of a credit system. Reputation is the important feature, where lenders can see a borrower's history of repaying small loans in consideration of offering terms on a larger loan. If repayment was assured, there would be officially zero risk to the lender, making loan issuance a job for a bot instead of a judgement call for a human.
