Loan origination is where lender economics are made or lost — the decision engine, the scorecards, the document checklist, the field-officer workflow and the credit-committee approval have to be fast, defensible and regulator-ready. Redian Software's loan origination system (LOS) is deployed for banks, MFIs, SACCOs and NBFCs across India, Africa, the UAE and the UK. CMMI Level 3 Appraised, ISO 27001 and 9001 certified, with nine years of production BFSI delivery across 200+ enterprises from Noida, Nairobi, Dubai, London and New York.
What we deliver
- Product configuration — retail, SME, agri, group and consumer-lending products, with configurable eligibility, tenure, rate and fee structures.
- Digital application capture — web, mobile and USSD application flows, plus branch and field-officer capture with offline queue.
- KYC and document collection — Aadhaar, CKYC, national-ID linked KYC, document OCR, video KYC, and a defensible audit trail.
- Credit scoring and decisioning — rule-based and ML-augmented scoring, bureau integration, alternate-data models, and configurable approval matrices.
- Field-officer workflow — group lending, joint liability, home visits, geo-tagged capture and offline sync.
- Approval and sanction letters — configurable maker-checker (1-of-n, m-of-n) and sanction-letter generation.
- Disbursement handoff — clean handover to the loan management system with data integrity checks.
- Regulatory reporting — RBI, CBK, CBN, NAICOM and equivalent regulator report packs.
Who we build this for
- Commercial banks and SFBs launching new consumer, SME or agri products
- Microfinance institutions running group and joint-liability lending
- NBFCs and digital lenders needing a decision engine that can iterate weekly
- Cross-border lending groups operating under multiple regulators
- SACCOs and credit unions scaling member lending beyond the branch
- Corporate captives and fleet financiers automating the origination pipeline
Our approach
Discovery — product catalogue review, regulator scan, credit policy interviews, bureau and integration map, and a written proposal. Design — object model, decision matrix, field-officer workflow prototypes, approval matrices. Configuration and build — product-factory configuration and custom scoring rules to the design. Working software in UAT every two weeks. Integration — core, bureau, KYC, e-sign, payment and disbursement rails. UAT and pilot — business UAT, closed pilot with a branch cluster, defect triage. Go-live and parallel run — staged cutover, hypercare, weekly steering. Optimisation — quarterly credit-policy review with real portfolio data. Timeline committed at end of Discovery, in writing.
