The loan lifecycle, step by step

A
Application & underwriting

Affordability assessment and CRB check at intake.

B
Multi-tier approval ladder

Gated by product amount bands — branch officer → committee → board.

C
Disbursement

Requirement gates: collateral perfection and credit-life coverage ratio.

D
Servicing

Repayment scheduling and formal restructuring.

E
Collections

DPD-driven dunning ladder with promise-to-pay capture.

F
Exit

Write-off, or closure with a Key Facts Statement (EIR/APR disclosure) issued at origination.

Compliance by design

Built into the workflow, not a report you run afterward.

Affordability assessment
CRB checks
Recovery notices gating repossession
AML sanctions/PEP screening with STR/goAML filing
BOT 5-band classification and PAR reporting
TRA EFD/VFD fiscal receipts
Close-up of business software and number-crunching tools in use
A real ledger — every posting reconciles

Finance and control

A real double-entry general ledger, not a summary layer bolted on top. Disbursements and repayments book straight to accounts, so your trial balance and portfolio reports read from one source of truth.
