Financial institutions have significantly evolved and improved in the last few decades. Especially in the previous decade, the advent of credit bureaus have changed the lending landscape. It has significantly enhanced credit performances and enabled lenders to tailor the products and pricing for the customers. Technology has played a subsequent part in the process.
The major developments over the last decade like the development of India Stack has completely taken the game to the next level. In the current scenario, Application programming Interface(API) has enabled us to fetch and validate real time client information from multiple sources. Using alternate data, behavioral scores enables lending into a new credit segment. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are used to continuously train and upgrade credit algorithms. These technical innovations have enabled us to expand the financing option to customers where lending would not have been possible earlier.

Taking a Dare
Every company faces some challenges in its operation and organizational growth. But these challenges are the only aspect which assists in enhancing its performance. The industry needs a secured API that gathers real time information to make the digital customer experience convenient and minimize data entry of information by the customers. Finnable has built a digital backbone to hardwire analytics and client insights into all business decisions. The company is able to fetch the real time data from multiple sources that provide client financial, transactional and behavioral information. This fetched data is fed into machine learning scorecards that deliver credit decisions within seconds.
The Future Roadmap
An increase in the regulations and reforms are leading the customers as the ultimate winners. At some point in the future, financial services like lending, payments, etc, would be coming to customers, when are required rather than, customers having to seek out or go to bank branches.
Seeing the future growth of the industry, the company is spreading its skyline to 5 new cities by the end of 2019 and to over20 cities in the coming 2 years. Currently, it is focused on three main products i.e Personal Loans, Travel Loans and Shopping loans, fulfilling its mission and vision of “make India financially able”, where financing is not an option.
