Lack of Credit Profile
Many individuals lack access to traditional credit profiles. The Financial Health Score addresses this gap by offering a holistic assessment of financial stability, accounting for assets, liabilities, and spending habits. This score provides both users and businesses with an expanded view of creditworthiness, especially beneficial for those underserved by standard credit ratings.
Limited Visibility of Financial Health
Managing fragmented financial data across multiple accounts can be challenging. Our Comprehensive Financial Overview consolidates all financial information—assets, liabilities, and expenditures—into a single, accessible view. This enables users to assess their financial health at a glance and make informed decisions.
Difficulty Tracking Life Goals
Financial goals can often feel abstract and hard to track. With Goal-Based Planning, users can transform their personal goals into a clear, actionable roadmap. The app also suggests milestones for a structured financial journey, ensuring both short- and long-term goals are achievable.
Risk of Financial Insecurity
Financial stability requires proactive planning. Our Personalized Recommendations feature provides tailored advice based on the Financial Health Score, covering priorities like emergency funds, insurance, and investment options, enabling users to secure their financial future effectively.
Accessibility Issues
Our app includes Voice Support and will soon support Vernacular Language, further enhancing user experience and making financial management accessible to a wider audience within Bharat.
During the development of our project, one of the most significant hurdles we encountered was accurately calculating the Financial Health Score based on diverse data sources while maintaining a reliable, balanced scoring logic that could work for users with vastly different financial profiles.
Challenge
The Financial Health Score needed to consider assets, liabilities, and spending patterns to provide a clear view of each user’s financial stability. However, when we integrated data from multiple Account Aggregators, inconsistencies and gaps in user financial data presented a major challenge. These issues created discrepancies in score calculations, potentially leading to inaccurate or biased recommendations.
Solution
To overcome this, we implemented a multi-step data validation and fallback system. This included:
Data Validation: Running real-time validation scripts to identify and clean inconsistent or incomplete data points from account aggregators.
Scoring Logic Adjustments: We adjusted the scoring algorithm to account for missing data without heavily penalizing users, enabling a fair score even when all data wasn't available.
User Testing and Feedback Loops: We tested the scoring system with diverse user profiles and incorporated feedback to fine-tune scoring logic.
These steps ensured a more reliable Financial Health Score and led to a more resilient and accurate recommendation system, ultimately improving the user experience and trust in the app’s advisory capabilities.
