Tech-Enabled Lending: Bridging Borrowers and Banks Digitally
Location: Oslo, Norway
Industry: Banking & Finance
Project Background
Our client, based in Oslo, Norway, operates in the Banking & Finance industry. We help our clients bring significant revolutions in this sector by creating a digital platform directly connecting lenders and banks with prospective borrowers. It offers comprehensive loan listings, detailed information on interest rates, eligibility and terms, comparison tools, calculators, and user reviews. The platform is mobile-optimized with strong security, streamlining the lending process and enhancing user experience in making informed loan decisions.
Challenges
- Lack of transparency in the lending process: Borrowers struggled to compare loans, rates, and criteria from different banks.
- Inefficiency in borrower-lender connection: Cumbersome traditional processes hindered direct borrower-lender interaction & led to delays as well.
- Absence of user-friendly and mobile-optimized solutions: The market lacked a platform that catered to users' preferences for accessing financial information on smartphones, highlighting the need for a mobile-optimized solution.
- Trust and confidence-building: There was a business challenge in establishing trust in the lending process. The project tackled this by adding user reviews and ratings for banks and lenders.
Solutions
