2. Underwriting and business credit scoring in b2b lending
To lower credit risk and attract high-quality borrowers, commercial lenders need to gather more relevant data about each business applying for finance. They need to be able to parse and understand this data consistently to use it in automated processing, credit scoring, and decision-making. Credit decisions for business loans are a lot harder because business data is a lot harder to interpret and analyze based on unified procedures, so automation is much more complex.
How TurnKey Commercial does it
At TurnKey Lender we have solved this challenge and offer preconfigured and custom scoring models and personalized decisioning flows which allow to keep your staff informed and assist automated credit decisions no matter the complexity of the industry and data.
But for 90% of the cases, the Decision Engine scoring is ready to tackle your underwriting and decisioning out of the box.
Decisions made by TurnKey Commercial are based on the specific data you’ve chosen to collect. Thanks to configurability of the scoring factors and decision rules the automated processing is razor-focused on your business case and borrower specifics. TurnKey Lender’s self-learning Decision engine uses proprietary AI in underwriting and scoring. It analyzes data from bank statements, credit bureau, loan application, and other sources to help you make better loan decisions faster.
All of that is already realized in pre-configured platform and takes from days to a few weeks to calibrate credit scoring and configure the solution to your exact business scenario.
It all comes down to who can use available tools and data to come to better credit decisions and reach better clients with better offers.
