Technology driven digital lending platform with unique products
Yirendai’s platform strategically focused on prime borrowers, comprising credit card holders who have a credit history and are more receptive to internet finance solutions. One of the first few platforms to launch mobile application for end-to-end consumer lending, the company’s services are based on technology-driven innovations such as big data powered risk management, data driven customer acquisition and conversion, and anti-fraud technology using artificial intelligence.
Innovative and diversified product offering
As one of the leaders in China’s financial technology (fintech) industry, Yirendai launched a mobile application for seamless consumer lending and fast-track mode loan service based on big data risk control. In the second quarter of 2017, it launched a new credit scoring system, the Yiren score, which can be used to more accurately characterise borrower’s credit profile. Yirendai also has a rapid mode feature, which allows customers to borrow from mobile apps 24x7 and be approved within 30 minutes.
Strong growth in revenue and number of customers
The mobile application, enabled by big data and an anti-fraud technology using artificial intelligence, has helped the company achieve a strong 145% growth in revenue in 2017. Yirendai had more than 920,000 users in 2017 and 87% of the investments were made through mobile application.
Big data facilitated better customer reach and improved credit analysis
The product and risk teams explored new alternative data for underwriting to address the lack of official credit data. Based on crawler technology, Yirendai can get the authorised information including credit card history, and housing allowance data among other data sourced. Big data helped improve credit analysis, taking only about ten minutes to grant credit to customers.
