Trusted by innovative financial institutions and global enterprises
Is Your Loan Origination Process a Bottleneck?
In today's competitive FinTech landscape, a slow, manual, and biased loan origination process isn't just inefficient—it's a direct threat to your bottom line. High operational costs, inconsistent underwriting, rising default rates, and poor customer experiences are symptoms of a system that can't keep up. You're likely losing qualified borrowers to faster competitors and struggling to manage risk effectively. It's time to replace legacy constraints with intelligent automation that delivers speed, accuracy, and fairness at scale.

AI-Powered Credit Scoring & Risk Assessment
Move beyond the limitations of traditional credit scores. Our custom machine learning models analyze thousands of data points, including alternative data, to generate a highly accurate, dynamic risk profile for every applicant. This allows you to safely approve more loans and serve new market segments.
- Expand Your Market: Accurately assess "thin-file" or "no-file" applicants who are invisible to traditional credit bureaus.
- Dynamic Risk Adjustment: Models continuously learn and adapt to changing economic conditions and borrower behaviors.
- Reduced Bias: Leverage AI to build fairer, more inclusive scoring models that reduce human bias and support fair lending compliance.
Automated Underwriting Engine
Dramatically accelerate your decisioning process. Our AI engine automates the entire underwriting workflow, from data ingestion and verification to policy rule application and final decisioning. Instantly approve, deny, or flag applications for manual review based on your specific credit policies.
- Instant Decisions: Reduce turnaround time from days to seconds, significantly improving the customer experience.
- Increased Consistency: Eliminate human error and ensure every application is evaluated against the same criteria, every time.
- Scalable Operations: Process thousands of applications per hour without increasing headcount, enabling rapid business growth.
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)
Stop wasting time on manual data entry. Our IDP solution uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to automatically extract and validate information from applicant documents like pay stubs, bank statements, and tax returns.
- 99%+ Accuracy: Achieve near-perfect data extraction, minimizing costly errors and rework.
- Automated Verification: Automatically cross-reference extracted data with other sources to verify income, employment, and identity.
- Reduced Operational Costs: Free up your loan officers from tedious administrative tasks to focus on high-value activities.
AI-Based Fraud Detection
Protect your portfolio from sophisticated fraud schemes. Our AI models analyze application data, device information, and behavioral patterns in real-time to identify and flag suspicious activity, including identity theft, income fabrication, and synthetic identities.
- Real-Time Alerts: Stop fraudulent applications before they are funded, saving you from significant losses.

Success Stories: AI Transforming Lending
FinTech Startup Achieves 90% Automated Decisions
Industry: Alternative Lending | Client: A venture-backed startup offering personal loans to gig economy workers.
Overview: The client needed to scale rapidly but was constrained by a manual underwriting process that couldn't accurately assess applicants with variable income. They required a solution that could automate decisions and handle non-traditional income data.
Challenge: Their key challenges included high application abandonment due to slow decision times, difficulty in verifying fluctuating income from multiple sources, an inability to serve a large portion of their target market, and high operational costs from manual reviews.
Our Solution: We developed a custom AI credit scoring model that ingested and analyzed bank transaction data via Plaid. The solution included an automated underwriting engine that could process applications in under 60 seconds. Key components were an NLP module to categorize income streams, a predictive model to forecast future earnings stability, a fully automated decisioning rules engine, and seamless API integration with their existing application portal.
Regional Credit Union Reduces Default Rate by 22%
Industry: Banking & Credit Unions | Client: A mid-sized credit union with a growing auto loan portfolio.
Overview: The credit union was experiencing an increase in delinquencies and defaults in their auto loan portfolio. Their traditional, FICO-based underwriting process was failing to identify emerging risk factors in a changing economic climate.
Challenge: Their primary issues were an unacceptable default rate impacting profitability, a lack of tools to proactively identify at-risk members, inconsistent underwriting decisions across different loan officers, and pressure to maintain fair lending compliance while tightening credit standards.
Our Solution: We implemented an Explainable AI (XAI) predictive default model that augmented their existing LOS. The model analyzed over 200 variables, including member transaction history and alternative data. We provided a risk dashboard that flagged high-risk applications with clear, human-readable explanations for the risk score. This empowered their underwriters to make more informed, consistent, and defensible decisions.
National Mortgage Lender Cuts Document Processing Costs by 60%
Industry: Mortgage Lending | Client: A top-20 national mortgage lender processing thousands of applications monthly.
Overview: The client's mortgage origination process was bogged down by the immense volume of paperwork. Teams of processors spent thousands of hours manually reviewing documents and keying data into their LOS, leading to errors, delays, and high labor costs.
Challenge: The core problems were extremely high operational costs due to manual data entry, long processing cycles delaying closings and frustrating customers, a high error rate requiring costly rework, and an inability to scale operations without hiring more staff.
Our Solution: We deployed an enterprise-scale Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) platform. The solution used advanced OCR and machine learning to automatically classify hundreds of different document types (W-2s, 1040s, bank statements, etc.), extract key data fields with over 99% accuracy, and validate the information against predefined rules. The extracted data was then automatically pushed to their core LOS via API.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is our top priority. We use a multi-faceted approach: 1) We conduct rigorous bias testing on the training data to identify and mitigate imbalances. 2) We use advanced techniques like adversarial debiasing and fairness constraints during model training. 3) Most importantly, we build Explainable AI (XAI) models that provide transparent reasons for each decision, allowing for audits and ensuring you can demonstrate compliance with regulations like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA).
Ideally, we need historical loan application data that includes applicant characteristics, the loan decision (approved/denied), and the loan's performance (paid/defaulted). The more data, the better. We can also enrich this with alternative data sources you have access to, such as bank transaction data, rent payments, or utility data, to build a more powerful and inclusive model.
Timelines vary based on complexity, but a typical engagement follows this pattern: A Proof-of-Concept (PoC) to validate a model on your data can be completed in 4-6 weeks. A full production deployment of a single module (like automated underwriting) typically takes 3-4 months. An end-to-end platform implementation can range from 6-9 months.
Yes, absolutely. Our solutions are designed to be API-first. We build secure, RESTful APIs that allow our AI models to seamlessly integrate with any modern LOS, core banking system, or third-party data provider. We handle the integration complexity to ensure a smooth data flow.
The ROI comes from multiple areas: 1) Operational Cost Savings from automating manual tasks (document processing, underwriting). 2) Reduced Credit Losses from more accurate risk assessment and lower default rates. 3) Increased Revenue from approving more qualified applicants and faster loan cycles. Clients typically see a positive ROI within 12-18 months.
