The Challenge

A regional lending institution was processing over 2,400 loan applications monthly using a legacy rule-based system with a 34% false-positive rate on defaults. Manual underwriting consumed 18+ hours per application, limiting growth and creating inconsistent credit decisions.

Our Solution

We engineered a multi-layer neural credit risk model trained on 7 years of proprietary transaction data, behavioral signals, and alternative data sources including rent payment history and utility records. The system delivers real-time risk scores with interpretable AI explanations (SHAP values) for regulatory compliance, integrated into their existing loan origination workflow.

"AIBrigade delivered a credit risk system that our regulators actually praised. The interpretability layer was a game changer — we can now explain every decision to examiners with confidence."
