Your credit policy is static, manual, and hard to govern.

Manual underwriting is slow, inconsistent, and expensive. The same applicant gets different answers from different analysts, and policy changes take months to roll out.

Manual underwriting

  • Policy sits in documents and spreadsheets
  • Different analysts, different answers
  • Policy changes take months to roll out
  • Rule-based scorecards that go stale
  • No defensible record for regulators

Abwab Credit Decisioning

  • Policy encoded once, enforced on every application
  • Consistent, auditable decisions everywhere
  • Faster rollout of products and policy changes
  • Loanbook-trained models, continuously backtested
  • Full decision logs for audit and SAMA

Decision strategy

Your rules and your models, one orchestrated decision.

Most engines hand you a black-box score. Abwab orchestrates your policy rules with your or our AI models into a single decision, approve, refer, or decline, with risk-based pricing and a full audit log. On your framework.

  • Combine policy rules, PD models, and your in-house models
  • One output: approve, refer, or decline, plus risk-based price
  • Every decision versioned and logged for SAMA

AI credit modeling

Turn your loanbook into a live credit model.

Abwab builds PD, LGD, and risk models from your own historical loanbook and keeps them sharp: an ensemble of statistical, gradient-boosting, deep-learning, and language models spanning 150+ risk metrics, retrained on every booked file.

  • PD, LGD, and risk models trained on your loanbook
  • An ensemble of statistical, gradient-boosting, deep-learning, and LLM approaches
  • Retrained on every booked file, shadow-tested before going live

Policies & lending products

Configure every credit policy and lending product.

Encode your credit policy once, then configure distinct lending products, each with its own limits, tenors, pricing bands, eligibility, and decision strategy per product, segment, channel, or campaign. No code, versioned, fully auditable.

  • Per-product limits, tenors, and pricing bands
  • Product, segment, channel, and campaign strategies
  • No code, versioned, with full audit history

Outputs & governance

Every decision, explained and documented.

Every decision returns a PD, a risk band, a recommendation to approve, review, or decline, and the top factors that drove it, with a pricing recommendation and an AI-drafted credit memo so analysts handle exceptions instead of writing every file.

  • PD, risk band, recommendation, and top-factor explainability
  • Pricing recommendation engine: tenor, amount, and rate
  • AI-drafted credit memo and PDF reports for logging and record keeping
  • Immutable logs, version control, SAMA-aligned validation reports
