Building an Intelligent Loan Document Validator to Automate Compliance, Reduce Manual Errors, and Accelerate Loan Approvals
Client Overview
A mid-sized lending and financial services company handling thousands of documents daily, including identity proofs, income statements, and bank records. Manual validation was slow, inconsistent, and error-prone.
Project Goal
To develop an AI Document Validator that automatically reads, validates, and verifies loan documents — ensuring accuracy, compliance, and auditability.
Approach
We combined OCR technology with GPT-4 reasoning and a custom rule-based validation layer to simulate the workflow of an experienced underwriter.
The system was designed to process both structured and scanned data formats and integrate directly with the company’s internal dashboard.
Solution
- Data Extraction: Tesseract OCR converts scanned documents into text for processing.
- AI Validation Engine: GPT-4 validates extracted fields (age, credit score, income) and cross-checks them with loan requirements.
- Rule Compliance: Business logic engine applies compliance rules and flags anomalies.
- Audit Trail: Generates structured validation summaries stored in PostgreSQL for transparency.
Value Delivered
The system enabled near-instant document verification, reduced human oversight by 90%, and ensured every record was traceable and audit-ready.
