Case Study

FinCue — Consumer Lending Platform across Two Markets

A consumer lending operator running short-term loans, installments, and marketplace BNPL across two markets and three brands. Over twenty-four months we rebuilt the platform around a hybrid scoring engine, moved payments onto an in-house card-acquiring stack, replaced the third-party telemarketing CRM with a closed-loop in-house dialer, and absorbed multiple credit-history sources into one feature pipeline. The headline number is the one that should not exist: defaults went down while approvals went up.

10.6%

FPD30+ default rate (was 18.4%)

41%

Approval rate (was 27%)
