Development of a Fair and Personalized Digital Credit Scoring Platform

Many individuals encounter barriers when accessing bank loans due to outdated or overly strict credit scoring systems. Such systems often rely solely on historical credit data, leading to inaccurate assessments and limited opportunities for creditworthy consumers. This results in either denied applications or the need to resort to high-cost, short-term loans, perpetuating financial inequity. The client seeks to develop a digital lending platform that provides fairer, personalized credit decisions based on a comprehensive understanding of applicants’ financial situations.

The implementation of the automated, personalized credit scoring system is expected to significantly improve lending accuracy and fairness. It aims to facilitate higher lending volumes, with measurable results such as closing in on the first million pounds of lending volume within the first month post-launch.
