Over a decade ago, could you have imagined lending credit to your customers sitting at home through the ease of their laptops?
Fintech companies have led one of the most extensive disruptions in the BFSI sector in recent years, especially with COVID-19 in place.
In India, it has mainly been evident with the introduction of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) that has allowed the adoption of digital payment methods among diverse sections of society.
Over 500 million Indians adopting the internet have paved the way for other financial services and digital payments.
Fintech solutions have increased accessibility and convenience and improved risk management and efficiency. As a result, advanced technology and newer products like Paytm Payouts have eliminated many constraints in the banking sector.
Challenges in corporate finance and lending
With almost two years into the pandemic, we can say that these events have presented critical pain points for corporate banks and their clients.
Meanwhile, corporations are looking to simplify relationships with their banking partners.
The pandemic has pushed them to get access to end-to-end real-time data and digital capabilities.
As a result, more than half of corporate banking clients say they’re reviewing relationships with their primary banks, according to a survey conducted in 2020.
A majority of corporate banks are wrestling with similar problems.
Different levels of digital change including automation, integration, and intelligence can help banks change their processes to respond to market needs and customer expectations.
These areas of corporate lending are particularly ready for digital transformation:
- Loan origination: Large and small banks have invested in a loan origination system (LOS) as a first step toward digitizing the customer journey. Still, most LOS cannot deliver an utterly digital strategy for all loans, and most cannot handle loan servicing.
- Credit risk management: Banks need to rewire their credit risk monitoring systems to make them more responsive to the current crisis. A configurable, enterprise-wide risk management system will help banks view risks holistically and jump over the competition to serve their customers better.
- Integrated credit: As loan applications rise due to the COVID-19 crisis, banks need to build eligibility criteria into the credit evaluation for government-backed programs. They may also need to increase automated credit decision-making to as many applications as possible. A sound credit management system, combined with the lending system, improves due diligence and lowers risk.
- Loan servicing: Corporate credit lending requires a collection of workflows related to customer service, risk management, accounting, reporting, and more. Shortage of automation means the process is typically labor-intensive, costly, and error-prone, factors that can inhibit scale and erode loan portfolio quality. If the combined credit function can support loan servicing, it can improve customer service and trigger early warning indicators for declining credit quality.
Digitization is creating new parkways for banks’ growth, improving customer service, and creating effectiveness in bank operations. A new-generation lending platform enables standard processes across all loans.
