Effective AI-driven credit scoring and lending are essential for enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of financial services. Inadequate credit assessments can lead to higher default rates and financial instability.

This article explores AI-driven techniques for credit scoring and lending, focusing on how AI improves risk assessment, loan approval processes, and customer experiences.

By leveraging AI, financial institutions can achieve more accurate credit evaluations, faster loan processing, and reduced risk, ensuring greater reliability and customer satisfaction in their lending services.

1. AI-Based Authentication and Fraud Detection in Credit Card Transactions

Onriva LLC, 2024

Reducing credit card fraud by using AI and customer profiles to authenticate payments and detect fraud attempts. The method involves maintaining a database of customer spending habits, which is used to verify the authenticity of credit card payments. An AI algorithm processes the customer data to identify spending patterns. When a customer makes a credit card payment, the AI compares it to the customer's normal spending behavior. Deviations could indicate fraud. The AI can also verify the cardholder's identity and check for other fraud indicators like card numbers flagged as stolen. By analyzing customer-specific factors, it aims to better detect fraud compared to generic transaction analysis.

2. Machine Learning-Enhanced Unsecured Loan System with Optimized Collateral Selection

ApexLend LLC, 2024

Unsecured loan system that allows customers to obtain loans with favorable terms closer to secured loans by using their existing credit accounts as collateral. The system determines interest rates and pre-authorization hold amounts using machine learning models. It analyzes factors like credit scores, account balances, and payment histories to categorize borrowers and calculate confidence scores. This allows optimizing collateral selection and hold amounts. By leveraging existing credit, lenders can offer more options with lower risk compared to traditional unsecured loans.

3. Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning for Credit Scoring Based on Social Media Interactions

PAYPAL, INC., 2024

Using natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to analyze user interactions on social platforms to determine whether to grant predefined statuses like credit cards. The method involves retrieving textual data from a user's interactions, analyzing it with NLP techniques to extract language usage patterns, then using machine learning to compare the user's patterns to reference users with granted or denied statuses. This determines whether to grant the user's request.

4. Adaptive Machine Learning Model for Improved Accuracy in Credit Scoring and Lending Decisions

PayPal, Inc., 2024

Evaluating transaction requests received by a computer system using a machine learning algorithm to improve accuracy in granting versus declining transactions. The computer system trains a machine learning model using historical transaction requests. When a new request comes in, the model scores it and compares to a threshold. If above, the request is granted, if below, declined. This improves accuracy compared to just using a fixed threshold as the model learns from prior requests. However, wrongly rejecting or granting transactions can degrade performance. To mitigate this, the model is retrained periodically using a subset of recent requests to adapt to changing conditions. This allows updating the model without having to retrain from scratch.

8. Machine Learning Model for Credit Scoring Based on Visual Choices

CONFIRMU PTE. LTD., 2024

Determining creditworthiness of individuals who don't have established credit scores using machine learning models trained on visual choices. The method involves having users make selections from visual options presented on a device, calculating trait scores based on those choices, and training an ML model to correlate trait scores with credit history. The ML model then predicts a financial conscientiousness score for users based on their visual choices.

US11922493B2-patent-drawing

9. AI-Based Transaction Prioritization for Overdraft and Late Payment Prevention

CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLC, 2024

Controlled prioritization of transactions to prevent overdrafts and late payments using AI. The system predicts future transactions based on historical data, assigns priority scores, and approves/denies them based on account balance. This prevents approving low priority transactions that could leave insufficient funds for high priority ones. It uses AI to analyze transaction history, predict future transactions, and score them for prioritization. This allows approving/denying transactions based on balance and priority instead of just following scheduling.

10. Machine Learning-Based Platform for Providing Actionable Feedback on Denied Loan Applications

BLOCK, INC., 2024

Intelligent lending platform that uses machine learning to analyze denied loan applications, identify the main reasons for denial, and provide customized and actionable explanations back to the applicant. The platform trains a complex machine learning model on historical loan data to accurately predict why a particular loan application was denied. It then extracts the most significant reason(s) and presents them in a clear and understandable way to the applicant. This allows the applicant to see exactly why they were denied and provides specific actions they can take to improve their chances for future loans. The platform monitors interactions and adjusts lending decisions based on actions taken on the recommendations.

By leveraging machine learning, the model can account for variations in available data length and provide more accurate predictions compared to traditional rules-based approaches.

15. Adversarial Training System for Fairer AI Predictive Models

ZESTFINANCE, INC., 2024

A system for training fairer predictive models in domains like credit risk, drug evaluation, and college admissions. The system uses adversarial training techniques to improve fairness while maintaining accuracy. It involves training a primary model to predict an outcome, then training a secondary model to predict the sensitive attribute based on the primary model's output. The primary model is then retrained to maximize the secondary model's accuracy while minimizing its own. This forces the primary model to learn features that are invariant to the sensitive attribute, making it more fair. The system also provides tools for selecting and justifying the best fairness-accuracy tradeoff.

16. Self-Supervised NLP for Enhanced Financial Risk Assessment from Unstructured Data

CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLC, 2024

Determining financial risk based on self-supervised natural language extraction from unstructured data sets like long form financial narratives. The method involves converting unstructured financial narratives into condensed financial risk narratives using self-supervised natural language processing. A tokenization library is determined for the unstructured data and used to generate the condensed narratives. Security scores indicative of financial risk are calculated for the condensed narratives. If a score exceeds a threshold, security actions are executed. This allows autonomous risk assessment from unstructured financial data without manual summarization.
