Loan Origination

Take a borrower from application to disbursement in minutes: digital onboarding, eKYC, OCR capture and a rules engine that pulls bureau and alternative data to decide in real time.

Overview

One front door for every lending product.

PhotonMatters origination handles the full intake journey across every channel a borrower might use: a web form, a mobile app, a USSD session on a feature phone, or an agent in a kiosk. The same configurable flow captures the application, verifies identity, scores the borrower and produces an offer.

Because the product builder, rules and data pulls are all configurable, you launch a new loan product or enter a new market without re-coding the pipeline, and approve thin-file borrowers the old system would reject.

    The borrower starts on web, mobile, USSD or with an agent and submits the application.

    eKYC, AML screening and OCR document capture confirm identity and extract the data.

    Disburse

    The borrower e-signs the offer and funds release to bank, wallet or mobile money.
