Om tjänsten

We are a fintech bank specializing in SME business loans, with a strong focus on developing highly accurate credit risk assessment

models. First-party fraud is a growing challenge in our sector. Unlike identity theft, this type of fraud occurs when a legitimate

customer applies for credit with the deliberate intention of never paying it back.

The most blatant indicator of this behavior is a customer who defaults on their very first payment and rolls directly into

delinquency. Distinguishing these intentional fraudsters from honest customers experiencing sudden financial distress is

incredibly difficult, yet crucial for robust risk management.

Leverage predictive models to identify first-party fraud in SME business loans through in-depth historical data analysis and

feature engineering.

Data Analysis: Analyze historical loan and repayment data to uncover behavioral patterns of intentional first-payment defaults.

Feature Engineering: Identify and create variables that distinguish intentional fraudsters from honest customers in financial

distress.

Model Development: Develop a predictive model that integrates the newly engineered features.

Validation and Testing: Validate the model to ensure its accuracy and robustness.

Documentation and Reporting: Document the analysis, findings, and model results.
