Idea or High Level Concept
Automating the document gathering process for loans that require the customer sending 15-30 documents by reducing friction, speeding up KYC 3X and reducing abandonment 2X
Territory of the product or service implementation
North America, South America
Traction and Current Status
The company works with over 90 financial institutions including UNIFIN (14b market cap) and Financiera Independencia (1.5b market cap) in Mexico, BMG Bank and Banco Inter in Brazil, Coltefinanciera in Colombia, Blue Bank in Curaçao, among others.
We have processed thousands of loans and claims with close to 500,000 documents.
Problem or Opportunity
Large loans, leases, mortgages and insurance claims require the customer sending 15-30 documents to the financial institution. The same thing always happens, some documents are wrong, missing, incomplete, outdated, caught in spam filters or just too big. This creates a back and forth of communications to get everything right, very slow, unscalable and a horrible customer experience as well as a follow up nightmare for the loan/claims officer.
The technology used today by the large loan market ($7.4B WW revenue) to gather the tens of documents from the customer is email, post-its and pen drives.
Solution
Expediente Azul speeds up the time it takes for a business or individual to send all the correct documentation by 3x, thus speeding up the loan approval and reducing customer abandonment 2.5x. It results in a faster time to money for not only the customer but also for the financial institution. Financial institutions are able to collect the origination revenue faster which in developed markets is usually more profitable than the actual money from interest.
