Loan Origination

Take a borrower from application to disbursement in minutes — digital onboarding, eKYC, OCR capture and a rules engine that pulls bureau and alternative data to decide in real time.

Overview

One front door for every lending product.

PhotonMatters origination handles the full intake journey across every channel a borrower might use — a web form, a mobile app, a USSD session on a feature phone, or an agent in a kiosk. The same configurable flow captures the application, verifies identity, scores the borrower and produces an offer.

Because the product builder, rules and data pulls are all configurable, you launch a new loan product or enter a new market without re-coding the pipeline — and approve thin-file borrowers the old system would reject.

Capabilities

Everything intake needs, in one module.

Digital onboarding

A single application flow across web, mobile, USSD and agent channels — built for low-bandwidth markets.

eKYC & AML

Identity verification, sanctions and PEP screening, and watchlist checks wired into the journey.

Document capture & OCR

Snap an ID or payslip and the engine extracts, validates and files the data automatically.

Configurable product builder

Define amounts, tenors, pricing, fees and eligibility for a new product without engineering.

Decision & rules engine

Pulls bureau and alternative data, then approves, declines or refers against your policy rules.

Offer generation & e-sign

Produce a compliant offer with terms the borrower accepts and signs digitally on the spot.

How it works

Apply → Verify → Decide → Disburse.

01

Apply

The borrower starts on web, mobile, USSD or with an agent and submits the application.

02

Verify

eKYC, AML screening and OCR document capture confirm identity and extract the data.

03

Decide

The rules engine pulls bureau and alternative data and returns an approve, decline or refer.

04

Disburse

The borrower e-signs the offer and funds release to bank, wallet or mobile money.

Outcomes

Faster decisions, fewer drop-offs, more approvals.

Minutes from application to a credit decision, not days
More approvals of thin-file borrowers using alternative data
Lower drop-off with a short, channel-native onboarding flow
