How Amukha’s Market Intelligence Unit Can Help the Banks
Today, the major problem for the banks is an unintended faulty selection of large borrowers resulting in loan frauds. In our view, having a dedicated system to detect fraudulent behavior of large value loan accounts is the need of the hour. Amukha has introduced the Market Intelligence Unit (MIU), which can help banks detect frauds and monitor the health of the large borrowers both at the pre-sanction and monitoring stage.
To strengthen the bank’s pre-sanctioning process with complete automation, Amukha has introduced Pre-onboarding Note Approval feature in MIU. This feature offers all relevant information to the various stakeholders with the bank to take informed decision on the prospective large-value borrowers. This includes a. Basic Company Details; b. Annexure with Status on All Critical Alerts and c. Option to capture Analyst’s comments. In addition, the entire flow from saving pre-onboarding note to sharing it with sanctioning authority for final approval along with option to record the audit trail has been integrated in the MIU.
Amukha’s innovative MIU application uses extensive sources, from alternative datasets to the banks’ internal and field intelligence data, to derive early warning signals for the identification of large value accounts potentially fraudulent or credit risk behavior.
