MSME origination is built for corporate deals, not volume.

Branch visits, RM back-and-forth, and manual document collection make every MSME application slow and costly. Abwab originates at a unit cost that manual processes cannot reach.

Corporate-style origination

  • Branch visits and RM back-and-forth on every deal
  • Manual document collection and re-keying
  • Expensive checks on every applicant
  • Works only at corporate ticket sizes
  • Inconsistent across branches

Abwab Loan Origination

  • Fully digital, no-RM journey
  • Documents captured automatically
  • Cheapest checks first, costly ones last
  • Unit cost low enough for the SME mandate
  • Standardized and auditable everywhere

Cost-optimized eligibility

Spend the least to disqualify the most.

A configurable, multi-gate pipeline orders checks by cost and filtering power: cheap internal and registry checks first, mid-tier APIs only for survivors, and the most expensive (SIMAH) last, on a narrowed pool. You pay for expensive data only on the applications worth it.

  • Cheapest, highest-filtering checks run first
  • Wathiq, open banking, Qawaem only for survivors
  • SIMAH last, on a narrowed pool, fully configurable per bank
