Manual approval workflows
Officers rely on spreadsheets, paper files, and branch-level processes to approve loans and savings products.
Inconsistent decision rules
Approval criteria vary by officer or branch, creating fairness and bias concerns.
Limited pricing/terms optimization
Loan terms and interest rates are static and not personalized to risk or capacity.
High operational workload
Officers spend hours reviewing supporting documents, group guarantees, and manual checklists.
Low visibility into portfolio impact
Decisions are made one loan at a time, without understanding long-term member value or risk concentration
