The bank's commercial lending division was experiencing significant competitive pressure due to underwriting cycle times averaging 18 business days for mid-market loans. Manual credit analysis, fragmented data sources, and sequential review workflows were creating bottlenecks that resulted in lost deals and borrower dissatisfaction.
Intelecta AI designed and deployed a predictive credit assessment system that automated the extraction and normalization of financial data from borrower submissions, generated preliminary credit assessments using a validated machine learning model, and surfaced risk signals and documentation gaps for credit officer review.
