Alternative lenders aim to provide their clients with fast and flexible loans and cash advance services to grow and strengthen their businesses. As the demand for their services grows, their current internal team may struggle to maintain quick application cycle times.

An alternative lender needs to perform various complex processes like loan application, risk evaluation, origination, underwriting, collection, servicing, and reporting. An advanced lending automation system can handle all these processes effectively and boost operational efficiency. Alternative lenders can outsource and automate the part or entire application processing to boost operational efficiency.

Automation Solutions Utilized by Alternative Lenders

Following are the automation solutions offered by an efficient outsourcing partner to alternative lenders:

Data Extraction

Data extraction is one of the primary challenges for finance companies. Such tasks require a team with a solid financial background. Instead of manual efforts, the process can be automated, which helps to extract vital information from documents like bank statements. This information can be reviewed and used to determine the credibility and eligibility of each applicant for the loan. While some of the bank statements can be a few pages, others can be over 20-30 pages depending on the monthly transactions of an applicant, which increases the complexity of data extraction. Automated processing can quickly extract data and ensure high data accuracy.
