Machine Learning Based Loan Eligibility Prediction and Automation

Abstract

As the demand for bank loans rises, banks receive more loan applications every day. To determine who qualifies, they carefully assess each applicant’s credit score and overall financial risk. However, even with these rigorous assessments, some borrowers still fail to repay their loans leading to significant financial losses for banks. To address this, challenge an advanced solution in a web application based on machine learning in the automation of loan evaluation and improves decision-making. It uses an historical model of loan to analyze key financial features such as the customer's credit history, status of income, employment status, and debt to income ratio that will help appropriately understand the qualifications of the applicants with the result of automating much of the processes, the solution will reduce heavy manual loads increase efficiency in deciding speed, consistency, and more transparency. The web application provides real- time insights and instant decision results, hence enabling easier communication with applicants and a more excellent customer experience. The project perfectly aligns with the digital transformation goals of the bank and presents a scalable solution that responds to changes in regulatory and market conditions. The bank is now able to portray itself as an innovator in financial services due to the adoption of machine learning in the automated decision-making process and is better placed to be responsive to customer needs while reducing operational costs. It modernizes loan evaluations, but basically, it is aligned with strategic objectives as it establishes customer trust.
