AI credit scoring for underbanked borrowers

A credit score built from what a borrower actually does.

Kreedite converges utility payments, mobile usage patterns, transaction consistency and community repayment history into a single, explainable credit score - built for lending teams that need a real decision-support tool, not a black-box number.

The scoring gap

A creditworthy borrower who never had the chance to look creditworthy.

Traditional files were built around a narrow slice of borrower behavior. Everyone outside that slice - by geography, by income pattern, by banking history - shows up as a blank. Which is not the same thing as a risk.

01
No file, no chance

A genuinely reliable borrower gets turned away because they have no traditional credit file at all - not because they failed to pay something back.

02
Alt-data as black box

Alternative scoring often arrives as a single number with no visible reasoning. Lenders cannot defend a decision they cannot inspect.

03
Manual does not scale

Assessing scattered financial behavior application-by-application is slow, inconsistent, and impossible to run across a real lending volume.

How Kreedite works

Four stages, no black box.

The scoring pipeline reads like a lending analyst thinks - gather the signals, weigh them honestly, arrive at a score, then hand a recommendation to a human.

STAGE 01
Gather

Non-traditional signals are collected across utility payments, mobile usage, transaction patterns and community lending history - only where the borrower has explicitly consented to each source.

STAGE 02
Weigh

Each signal is weighted by its actual predictive contribution against your loan-book outcomes - not by a fixed one-size template that ignores your borrower reality.

STAGE 03
Score

A single credit score is generated, and every contributing signal is broken out with its exact weight and contribution - explainable at every step to your credit committee and to regulators.

STAGE 04
Decide

A tiered recommendation (approve, review, decline-risk) is surfaced. Your team, your rules and your final human review always remain in the loop - Kreedite is decision support.

What the engine actually does

Concrete capabilities. Not a black-box score.

Consent-scoped
Alternative-data signal collection

Draws from utility payment records, mobile usage consistency, verified transaction history and community lending outcomes - only where each source is available and the borrower has consented.

Fully attributable
Explainable score generation

Every signal that contributed to the score is broken out with its exact weight and direction of contribution. The reasoning behind the number is defensible in front of a credit committee or a regulator.

Three-tier routing
Risk-tier recommendation

Not a binary yes-or-no. Each application is routed to one of three tiers - approve for review, manual review advised, or high-risk route - which your underwriting policy can then act on with its own rules.

Cohort tracking
Portfolio-level risk monitoring

Aggregate risk trends across your scored borrower base are tracked over time - default correlation, tier migration, segment drift - so your credit policy can respond before the portfolio does.

Built for the lenders who need it

Two lending institutions. One scoring discipline.

For NBFCs

Alternative scoring at the scale of a growing loan book.

Move alternative-data credit decisioning from a manual, one-by-one review to a repeatable, defensible engine that keeps up as your book grows. Retain policy control, gain assessment throughput.

  • Volume-native scoring pipeline
  • Configurable rules per product line
  • Portfolio drift monitoring
For Microfinance Lenders

Decision support built for underbanked borrower realities.

Not adapted from urban consumer credit tools. Community repayment history, group lending outcomes, seasonal cash flow variance and geographic factors are treated as first-class signals, not afterthoughts.

  • First-class community history signals
  • Seasonal cash-flow aware
  • Field-officer friendly explanations
Numbers that matter

The three properties we refuse to trade off.

Every signal shown
Explainable
Signal-by-signal contribution and weight surfaced with every score - no black box.
For borrowers with no file
Alternative
Consented data from utility, mobile and transaction sources becomes usable signal.
Human review preserved
Reviewable
Every recommendation lands in your queue as a decision-support tier, never as an auto-approval.

Numeric accuracy and pilot benchmarks are shared under NDA during diligence - published performance figures follow only when a statistically meaningful cohort has cleared its full loan lifecycle.

The live instrument

Try the score. Not the sales deck.

The same signal-convergence mechanic that runs in production - available here against an illustrative borrower pattern you describe. Adjust the profile and watch the composite rebuild in real time.

Trait profile

Adjust the four signal profiles below. Segments are re-weighted, the score is re-computed and a recommendation tier is surfaced - all transparently, using the same explainability model that runs in production scoring.
