Problem

  1. Traditional credit scoring relies heavily on historical credit data, excluding potential borrowers with limited credit history
  2. Manual credit assessment processes are time-consuming and prone to human bias
  3. Conventional models fail to capture modern financial behaviours and alternative indicators of creditworthiness
  4. High default rates due to incomplete risk assessment
  5. Limited access to credit for small businesses and individuals in emerging markets
