The Challenge

In 2025, with the aim to offer personalised financial services, but the company struggled to:

  • Verify efficient documents and process loans. 
  • Monitor transactions for fraud in a timely manner. 
  • Respond promptly to customer queries, particularly during high-volume periods. 

The Solution

Technical Approach: Implement a suite of AI-driven tools to automate loan processing, document analysis, and customer interaction workflows.

Key components: 

  • Automated loan processing: AI models apply for document data, credit scores, and risk indicators. 
  • Document intelligence: AI extracts data from income statements, identities, and contracts.
  • AI chatbots and virtual assistants: NLP-powered bots resolve common customer issues (account status, transaction disputes).
  • Robotic process automation: AI extracts and validates data from income statements, identities, and contracts.
