01Challenge
Reviewing and Comparing Multiple Documents Takes Time
Loan application materials may be submitted in different formats, including paper documents, PDFs, and spreadsheets.
Employees must review revenue, profit, existing debt, repayment plans, and other information while identifying missing details and inconsistencies across documents.
As application volumes increase, manual data entry and verification can delay the start of the review process.
02Solution
Extract Information and Organize Review Items with AI
AI and OCR can read application forms, financial documents, and business plans and extract information required for the review.
The system can compare multiple documents and highlight inconsistencies, missing information, and items requiring additional verification.
For example, the following workflow can be established:
- 1Application Document Receipt
- 2AI and OCR Data Extraction
- 3Cross-Document Comparison
- 4Missing Information and Discrepancy Detection
- 5Staff Review and Assessment
- 6Decision and Supporting Evidence Recording
Loan approval and terms should not be determined by AI alone. Authorized employees make final decisions according to the financial institution’s established review criteria.
