Indian fintech start-up KreditBee and Digitap.AI have reportedly teamed up to strengthen the credit underwriting process.
Under the partnership, Digitap.AI, which is a data-based risk management solutions provider, will allow KreditBee to access the customer’s bank statements.
Digitap.AI will provide fintech with the bank statement pull-through account aggregator (AA).
Furthermore, it will offer an analysis of the unprocessed bank account statement data and provide the variables needed for the underwriting procedure.
KreditBee, in partnership with non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), provides salaried customers with personal loans up to INR400,000 ($4866).
During the trial period, Digitap is claimed to have assisted KreditBee in accessing more than 100,000 bank statements using the AA framework.
