The credit file assembled before the analyst sits down

The question this file answersWho in my credit team is actually deciding — and who is just collecting payslips?

Fits: banks, payment firms and fintechs where compliance files are still assembled by hand.

Typical day

What the desk looks like today

Typical, not a measured desk; no loan-file volume is published in the finance playbook. Payslips, IDs and statements arrive by email and portal; an analyst chases missing ones, retypes fields into the credit system, then reads the case. It hurts when the analyst is also the chaser.

What changes

What Monday looks like after

On the morning a complete application lands, the analyst's screen already shows the file, the gaps and a draft score, so the week goes to affordability and the conversation with the applicant. Files with a missing payslip or an unreadable statement still go back to a person, and you can see per case what was assembled and what was chased.

Typical, not a measured client result. Every figure here comes from the playbook source named below.

Pre-scored

the same file-assembly build as KYC onboarding — no published figure for credit files

Before: an analyst spends the week assembling and the hour deciding. After: the file arrives assembled and pre-scored; the decision and the signature stay with the analyst. No percentage — the KYC figures are about onboarding.

No published figure for this desk. The range lives on the parent file: KYC: documents scored before the officer opens the file →

How this file is built

The 40–60% previously shown here came from KYC studies (McKinsey, 2023; Thomson Reuters, 2023) about onboarding time, not credit-file assembly. We no longer carry it here; the KYC file keeps the range. Not an approval-rate claim.

What we install

What we put in front of the systems you already run

Your core system stays — Temenos, FIS, Finastra or the one you run — and nothing is booked without the analyst. This is the same file-assembly build as our KYC onboarding, pointed at credit:

  1. incoming documents are sorted by type and the required fields extracted
  2. the fields are checked for completeness and against your lists, and what is missing is named
  3. a pre-scored file with a log of each step goes to the analyst, who opens one case, not a folder of attachments.

Approval is a signature, not a model output.

What stays human — and what this will not do

The affordability judgement. Fraud. Policy exceptions. The conversation with the applicant.

Not an approval-rate claim.

What can go wrong — and what we do about it

Statements and payslips come in hundreds of layouts and as photographs; a layout the model has not seen is not guessed — it goes to the analyst as a whole document. Affordability, fraud and policy exceptions are not in scope — this build prepares the file, and if your credit policy is not written down the pre-score has nothing to check against.

What it costs to get there

The path: free 60-second estimate → free 20-minute review → paid audit of this one process (€1.5–3K, typically two weeks) → pilot with your people in the loop (€10–20K, weeks, not quarters). No transformation programme. Prices are public, on the services page →

Scoped in the audit — the playbook has no estimate for this exact desk.

What does this mean in euros?

That depends on your volumes and wage costs — this page will not invent the number. The free 60-second estimate runs that calculation from your answers, with every multiplier sourced.
