3C checks: The Digilytics Art of validating mortgage documents

To address this problem, Digilytics RevEl uses one-shot learning.

The mortgage industry is facing five (5) key challenges that are setting pressure towards a paradigm shift. 

One-Shot Learning

There is no easy way for consumers to identify, at an early stage, those products for which they qualify”, which impedes both the consumer’s ability to find a suitable deal and intermediaries’ ability to find them the best deal promptly. 

This lack of transparency in lending criteria is one of the reasons why about 30% of consumers missed out on being able to use lower-priced mortgage products for which they would be eligible. The most obvious way to make more information available is using tools intermediaries could use to identify, early on, those products for which the consumer is or is not likely to be eligible.

This enables faster recognition of how complete the documents are.

2. Correctness  

Correctness refers to the accuracy of the data in the documents. Post automated completeness check, the system can verify the correctness of the extracted data. This requires a thorough evaluation of the data captured, which means there cannot be any scope for errors in reading the data. E.g.: Date check on Payslip etc. For this, Digilytics RevEl uses intelligent data capture.

Intelligent Data capture:

3. Consistency  

Consistency refers to checking for consistency in the bank statement information fields. Checks for consistency of information across documents. eg: Name check across bank statements and application form. Rules can be configured and can be easily updated owing to regulation changes etc. Documents are validated against lending principles, lending criteria and regulatory requirements, acting as an assistant for underwriter.

Once a bank statement is recognized during the extraction phase, it is then cross-referenced with any other valid document, to check for inconsistencies across various information fields. A post-extraction rules engine is configured, to find out the inconsistencies in the document.

E.g., Let’s say a borrower has given a bank statement as address proof. Document-level cross-referencing can compare the bank statement with any document, like a driver’s license, and validate the borrower's address.  

This helps raise red flags if there are critical discrepancies in the bank statement.
