Project Name
AI-Powered Loan Risk Assessment: Revolutionizing Credit Decisions for Small Business Financing
Overview
Our client works as a Merchant Cash Advance Provider who gives loans to small business owners and helps them grow their businesses smoothly. They want a system to assess the credit risk ability of various merchants and to predict the likelihood of default with the help of building custom AI/ML models.
Challenges
- With an increasing number of applications daily, clients must transition from their current manual to an automated loan distribution process.
- To address this challenge, the client requires an automated AI / ML model capable of real-time prediction to distinguish between creditworthy and high-risk merchants.
- This urgency stems from the significant number of merchants failing to meet daily payment obligations, a trend that can ultimately result in defaults.
Our Solution
We have provided our client a comprehensive solutions that meet the needs as shown below:
- Leveraging historical data, we employ advanced analytics to identify patterns in merchant behavior, allowing us to gain insights into their repayment tendencies.
- Based on these identified patterns, we categorize merchants into different groups according to their likelihood of defaulting on loans. This segmentation enables us to effectively manage risk.
- Merchants with a low probability of default, as determined by our model, are considered eligible for renewal cash advances. This approach ensures that we continue to support reliable businesses.
- We utilize Logistic Regression, a powerful machine-learning technique, to extract valuable patterns from historical data analysis. This method provides a clear understanding of the factors influencing default probability.
- Our solution operates in near real-time, enabling us to make quick and informed decisions on loan approvals and renewals, ensuring efficient and risk-conscious lending practices.
- Additionally, we've harnessed state-of-the-art methods like XGBoost and Random Forest, further improving our ability to assess and predict merchant default probabilities with greater precision and robustness.
