Advisory for the implementation of transaction lending

Support for the initiation of a loan business based on data such as transaction histories, with a view to entry into finance

The entry of non-financial actors into the field of finance has progressed in recent years, and transaction lending, which utilizes data, has become a leading service in the industry. Deloitte Tohmatsu’s team, composed of experts in fields such as big data, IoT, Fintech, AI, and credit risk, provides a full array of support services, from advance surveys to formulation of implementation plans, for clients looking to implement transaction lending.

What is transaction lending?

Transaction lending involves collecting various types of data, including transaction history data such as purchase records and customer assessments, and using that data to evaluate the state of a business in real time in order to approve or deny a loan to said business. Loan decisions have traditionally been based on business plans centered on financial statements, but transaction lending allows for the shortening of screening periods by deciding on creditworthiness and loan conditions on the basis of a scoring model.

Phase 1: Advance survey

The advance survey includes introduction of existing initiatives, examination of the use value of owned data, examination of a business model, and formulation of a proof of concept (PoC) plan (roadmap). Based on examples of initiatives from both Japan and elsewhere, we will examine to what extent the data held by the company aiming to implement transaction lending can be used, and review the company’s business model, including targets and monetization, after which, looking ahead to the modeling phase, a PoC plan (roadmap) will be formulated.

Phase 2: Scoring model PoC

In the scoring model PoC, data to be analyzed and related materials are specified, and once the characteristics of the data set are understood and its quality confirmed, integrated data for analysis is prepared. Points of contention on the way to building the business are then reviewed and a roadmap is drafted. In the scoring model PoC phase, we will also use AI and other analysis technology to analyze actual data that can be used.
