Operational Efficiency

Make more informed lending decisions with real-time data and instant insights.

Problem

Despite the rush to digitisation, many lending companies still rely on processes that are fundamentally outdated, comprising of paper document verification and manual assessments.

This tends to be inefficient, expensive and time consuming. The need for manual intervention during the credit risk assessment period can create operational issues within the business and hinder the ability to process applications.

Solution

Leveraging bank data allows for the removal of offline processes that slows the efficiency of underwriting departments.

When the data is available through digital statements, the efficiency of data analysis increases, resulting in higher capacity for application processing.

Fraud risk is greatly reduced as direct access to bank data is supplied, reducing the operating time and costs associated with managing fraud. Ultimately, decision times can be decreased by using insights, gleaned from Open Banking, and the operational efficiency of underwriting departments is improved.

Convenience Is Key To Open Banking Escalation

Customer convenience has been the key to success for many of the technologies that have become commonplace. Look at plastic overtaking the cheque, and increasingly, cash. Contactless replacing chip and pin. It’s this premise that will determine the future success of Open Banking. If it offers consumers the opportunity to do more with their finances; more conveniently, faster and cheaper, then it will become the norm.
