The benefits of a decision engine for efficient loan origination

Credit assessment is the most important stage in the lending process. An automated decision engine integrated with a range of data sources helps fintechs, banks, retailers and other lenders make near-instant decisions without losing rigor.

How to speed up loan origination

Thanks to automated solutions, companies manage loans easily and can check applicant eligibility in a matter of minutes. The uFlow engine is 100% cloud and automates credit assessment processes.

Step 1: Customer prequalification

The applicant submits documents (ID, employment records, pay stub, credit scores, bank statement). The engine reviews the documents automatically and intelligently and, if everything is in order, moves on to preapproval.

Step 2: Application and third-party data retrieval

API integrations pull relevant, up-to-date third-party data. Once that data is in, AI makes instant decisions about the application. The software quickly identifies missing information without relying on human review.

Step 3: Underwriting process

The application is analyzed and assessed against criteria such as credit score, ability to pay and tax returns. You can set parameters for how and when the engine runs, according to your business rules.

Step 4: Credit decision

The application is approved, declined or sent back for additional information. The automated process delivers predictability, even when interest rates or terms change.
