Quick Vehicle Loan for Gig-Workers; Reliable Credit Assessment for the SME Lending Institutes

The problem CreditOS solves

Today gig-workers (delivery agents, dog walkers, gardeners, electricians, plumbers, cleaning services providers etc.) have easy access to the jobs of their trade via various online platforms.
Yet they face a severe challenge in accessing credit for fulfilling the basic requirements of the job (like owning a vehicle for commute or buying costly tools) because of 1) lack of fixed income in their bank accounts 2) complicated and time-consuming loan application process.
Our solution is a digital application that verifies identity of the user, builds a credit profile and establishes their need for a loan. The output of this application is a reliable Credit Assessment Memo (CAM) that can be readily consumed by lending institutes for quick loan offers to the gig-worker.
Along with the gig-workers, our platform also enables SME lending institutions (like co-operative banks, NBFCs, small finance banks, credit societies etc.) who are ready to look beyond the salaried individuals for credit advances by providing them with readily consummable accurate credit assessments of the applicants for better and faster credit decisions.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Integrating Sahamati sandbox / Saafe AA simulator: we started the project late and we could not find the right documentation to integrate the Sahamati sandbox and/or Saafe AA simulator for our purposes even after completing on-boarding etc. So we integrated FinVU sandbox APIs in our application.
  2. Third party eKYC APIs: we have not integrated the live APIs because of the paperwork and costs involved. Our APIs in the app return static KYC data from the backend.
  3. Third party mobile number - bank account link API: we have not integrated the live APIs because of the paperwork and costs involved. Our APIs in the app return static data from the backend.
  4. Loan offers - we were never going to get real loan offers so we have rendered a static offers screen.
