1 Home Loan Application

This topic describes the structure of the home loan application, which captures information regarding the disbursement details, loan requirements, and the applicant's personal, employment, and financial information.

A home loan is a sum of money borrowed from a financial institution or bank to purchase a house. Individuals might also seek to take home loans for the purpose of constructing a house, to purchase land or even for home repair or renovation. A home loan is a secured loan in which the property or real estate is provided as collateral. The lender will hold the deed or title until the loan is paid in full.

The home loan application has been built so as to capture information pertaining to the property being purchased/renovated, loan requirements as well as basic personal, employment and financial information of the applicant.

The application form is OCR (Optical Character Recognition) enabled so as to save the applicant’s time and effort in filling out the application form. The inline document upload feature that is provided on various sections of the form, enables the applicant to upload supporting documents to have the specific section prefilled with information.

Online KYC of the prospect can also be conducted by means of liveness check or through integration with third party identity verification service providers. For more information, please refer User Manual Oracle Banking Digital Experience Originations - KYC Modes.

Once the applicant’s identity is verified successfully through online KYC, he/she will be able to proceed with the application form. The personal information section will also be prefilled with information as fetched on the basis of the identification provided.

Existing digital banking customers can simply provide their online banking credentials to log in to the system.

The application form also has the feature of QR code scan enablement which can be used to continue applications on mobile devices.

The application tracker has been built so as to enable tracking of the application once it has been submitted. The application tracker also enables the applicant to retrieve and complete an application that has been saved. Additionally, the applicant can view documents that have been uploaded as part of the application form and can also view details as defined in the application form in PDF format.

Note:

OBDX is integrated with Oracle KYC to fetch the applicant’s risk level (high risk or low risk) along with the reference number for the same as generated in the Oracle KYC system, at the time of application submission. OBDX will further send this information to the mid office system to be utilized as required.
