BANGALORE, India, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CARD91, a leading payments infrastructure provider, has launched its AI-powered UPI Credit Scoring Engine—a behavioural Business Rules Engine (BRE) that transforms real-time UPI transaction data into dynamic, actionable credit scores.
Built to go beyond traditional bureau-based assessments, the solution enables banks, NBFCs, and fintechs to underwrite and pre-approve thin-file and new-to-credit customers with greater confidence—enhancing approval rates, reducing default risk, and driving financial inclusion.
Ajay Pandey, CEO of CARD91, commented:
"Millions of deserving borrowers remain underserved due to limited or no bureau history. Our AI-powered UPI Credit Scoring Engine redefines risk assessment—enabling lenders to extend credit responsibly while protecting their portfolios."
Core Capabilities
• Behavioural Credit Scoring (0–100)
Uses machine learning to analyze real-time UPI transaction patterns—frequency, value, and categories—to compute a behavioural score, independent of traditional bureau history.
• Customizable Eligibility Filters
Filter applicants based on income range, transaction history, location, or demographic data to align with one's credit product's risk appetite.
• Real-Time & Bulk Score Generation
Generate scores instantly via API or in batches—seamlessly integrated into onboarding or underwriting workflows.
• Automated Risk Segmentation
Automatically classify customers into High, Medium, or Low risk bands based on scoring thresholds tailored to one's business rules.
• Configurable Approval Matrix
Map risk bands to decision flows—auto-approve, flag for manual review, or reject—reducing manual intervention and improving turnaround time.
• Bureau Score Benchmarking
Compare behavioural UPI scores with bureau ratings to measure uplift, validate credit decisions, and improve portfolio segmentation.
