Key Capabilities

Core AI Capabilities for Lending

Purpose-built AI models trained on millions of BFSI transactions — not general-purpose ML adapted for finance.

Bank Statement Intelligence
AI models that parse, classify, and analyze bank statement transactions with 95%+ accuracy — powering income assessment, cash flow scoring, and fraud detection.
Document Understanding & OCR
End-to-end document processing — extraction, classification, validation, and fraud detection across bank statements, salary slips, ITR, and identity documents.
Credit Risk Scoring
Configurable credit risk models that synthesize bureau data, financial signals, and behavioral indicators into credit scores with explainable factor attribution.
Cash Flow Analysis
Deep cash flow profiling — income reconstruction, obligation detection, seasonal analysis, and cash flow-based credit scoring for thin-file and MSME borrowers.
Fraud Detection Models
Multi-signal fraud detection covering document manipulation, synthetic identity patterns, circular transaction detection, and behavioral anomaly identification.
Natural Language CAM Generation
Large language model-based Credit Appraisal Memorandum generation — structured, accurate, institution-specific credit narratives from financial data inputs.
Predictive Delinquency Models
Probability of default models predicting future delinquency risk with factor-level attribution — enabling proactive portfolio management and early intervention.
Liveness & Face Match
Computer vision models for video KYC liveness detection — preventing photo, video, and deepfake spoofing attacks during identity verification.
Anomaly Detection
Unsupervised anomaly detection across financial data streams — identifying unusual patterns in cash flows, transaction behavior, and portfolio metrics.

AI Governance & Explainability

Novel Patterns builds AI for BFSI with regulatory requirements, ethical guardrails, and institutional accountability built in — not added later.

Explainable Decisions
Every AI model output includes factor-level attribution — what drove the score and by how much. Supports RBI Fair Practices Code transparency requirements.
Bias Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of model outputs for demographic bias patterns — with documentation and remediation workflows for material fairness deviations.
Model Governance
Full model inventory, version control, performance monitoring, and validation documentation — supporting internal audit and regulatory model risk management requirements.
Human Override Capability
Every AI decision path includes structured human override capability — decisions can be escalated, reviewed, and overridden with documented rationale.
Data Privacy Compliance
AI models built with privacy-preserving principles — no sensitive personal data retained in model serving infrastructure beyond operational necessity.
Regulatory Documentation
Pre-built documentation for SEBI, RBI, and other regulator requirements — model risk policies, validation reports, and performance attestations.
FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Novel Patterns' AI models trained on India-specific BFSI data?

Yes. CART's AI models are trained primarily on India-specific BFSI transaction data — covering Indian bank statement formats, RBI-regulated credit bureau data, Indian lender underwriting patterns, and India-specific fraud typologies. This domain specificity significantly outperforms general-purpose ML models for Indian lending use cases.

How does Novel Patterns ensure AI model performance does not degrade over time?

CART includes a model monitoring framework that tracks prediction accuracy, score distribution stability, and performance on hold-out samples on an ongoing basis. Models are retrained when performance degradation is detected, with version-controlled deployment and parallel testing before full rollout.

Can AI models be customized or fine-tuned for our institution's portfolio?

Yes. CART offers institutional model customization — fine-tuning base models on institution-specific historical data to calibrate for the lender's specific borrower mix, product profile, and historical loss patterns. Custom scorecards and institution-specific rule overlays are also supported.

How does Novel Patterns handle regulatory requirements for AI in credit decisions?

Novel Patterns' AI systems are designed with RBI's Fair Practices Code in mind — every credit decision can be documented with the primary factors that led to the outcome, enabling compliance with adverse action notice requirements. Model documentation and validation reports are available to support regulatory model risk management frameworks.

Is the AI integrated with existing systems or does it require replacing existing technology?

Novel Patterns' AI capabilities are delivered via REST APIs — designed to integrate with, not replace, existing technology stacks. Lenders can adopt specific AI capabilities (bank statement analysis, fraud detection, etc.) without replacing their existing LOS, CBS, or data infrastructure.
