Instead of manually reviewing bank statements or relying on static bureau files, AI extracts structured risk signals to automate initial screening and flag default risks before disbursal. **What are the main benefits of AI in loan underwriting?** The primary benefits are higher approval rates, lower default rates, and faster time-to-disbursal. By evaluating true cash surplus, AI allows lenders to safely approve creditworthy NTC (new-to-credit) and self-employed borrowers while keeping straight-through processing (STP) fast. **Is AI replacing human underwriters?** No. AI handles repetitive data analysis and approves clear, creditworthy applicants automatically through STP. For ambiguous or high-risk edge cases, the system routes the profile to human credit appraisal teams with explicit, auditable risk flags. This allows underwriters to make faster, better-informed final decisions. **Is AI credit underwriting explainable and auditable for regulatory compliance?** Yes. IDfy’s platform uses deterministic logic that outputs clear Approve, Refer, or Reject decisions along with explicit, auditable reason codes. Lenders get full visibility into the exact risk factors driving every recommendation, ensuring complete regulatory alignment. **I already have AI agents and workflow in place; do I have to replace those to use these agents in underwriting?** No, the agents are flexible in nature. These agents are grounded in your context and governed by your rules, in your AI ecosystem. You can plug the agents into your system entirely or complement your existing workflows with our underwriting capabilities. **How does IDfy’s AI underwriting agent compare to direct frontier LLMs?** Direct-prompting general LLMs fails on complex, multi-year raw financials. IDfy’s specialized agentic pipeline outperforms standard LLMs across coverage, accuracy, and cost: - **Broader Coverage:** Processes multi-year, non-machine-readable financial statements where direct LLMs fail. - **Higher Accuracy:** Achieves 90% accuracy on risk signals and 91.7% on financial triangulation (vs. ~57–58% for direct LLM calls). **How does AI underwriting software integrate into our existing Loan Origination System (LOS)?** IDfy plugs directly into your existing LOS or Business Rule Engine (BRE). It ingests raw transaction data, evaluates risk signals in real time, and feeds clean decisioning outputs back into your current workflow without disrupting the customer journey. --- ## Voice of the customers & awards **Kirti Patil**, CTO, Kotak Mahindra "IDfy has significantly improved our fraud prevention capabilities with accurate verification." **Abhinav Puneeth**, Director, Yubi "Exceptional accuracy and speed across verification processes." **Sameer Jadhav**, Vice President, Aditya Birla "The platform enables seamless identity checks that scale efficiently across teams." **Amarendra Nath Mishra**, Group CHRO, Hero Enterprise "With the adoption of IDfy's Background Verification Services, we were able to improve our processes significantly." **Devrat Singh**, Senior Product Manager, Blackbuck "It has been an absolute pleasure working with IDfy over the past 4-5 years." ### Proudly Shaping The Future Of Trust Affiliations: FACE (Fintech Alliance for Consumer Empowerment), Fintech Convergence Council, Fintech Alliance.ph, FICCI Awards: Deloitte Technology Fast 50 India 2023, Forbes Asia 100 To Watch Certifications and ratings: Capterra 4.4, AICPA SOC 2 / SSAE 18 SAS 70, NASSCOM Gold Level, iBeta Level 1 ISO 30107-3 Presentation Attack Detection Compliant, ISO 27001:2013 --- ## IDfy Perspective Explore How We're Building And Restoring Trust. **CTA:** Explore More - **Chargeback Fraud Explained: Types, Causes, and How...** — Learn what chargeback fraud is, the different types of online...
