The Faircent.com rule engine is an in-house algorithm. It assigns different weightages to various factors to compute a score that helps understand a borrower’s risk profile. It is this risk profile that determines the interest rate, loan tenure and amount at which the borrower’s loan request can be listed on the platform to secure funding from the lenders. Interest rates are directly proportional to the risk profile. For example, loans listed at high-interest rates indicate a high-risk profile while lower interest rates mean lower risk.
Various factors are considered by Faircent.com’s fully automated credit evaluation mechanism to determine a borrower’s risk profile.

A borrower may have the ability and the stability to repay their loan in a timely manner, however intentionally default due to habit or lack of financial discipline. The intention is understood by analysing the past repayment behaviour of the borrower towards their financial liabilities.

All documents submitted by the borrower are also verified for forgery using state-of-the-art technology. This data is made available on the borrower profile for lender perusal.
