Loan Validation Tool Automating Commercial Loan Data Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in automating the validation of large volumes of financial data for commercial loan transactions, particularly in creating timely and accurate regulatory reports.
Innovation Solution
The Loan Validation Tool (LVT) system is an online distributed system that automates the validation of commercial and industrial (C&I), commercial real estate (CRE), and off-balance sheet (OBS) loan data by using configurable business rules to process and integrate data for regulatory reporting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual validation methods are used for loan data, then accuracy can be maintained, but processing time and productivity are severely limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical validation processes with an automated computer-based system that retrieves loan data from databases, applies validation rules, and generates reports automatically. This substitution of human manual work with automated computational processes directly resolves the contradiction by dramatically increasing processing speed while maintaining validation accuracy through systematic rule-based checking.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive validation rules are applied to all loan data, then validation accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the validation system into distinct modular components: data retrieval modules, validation rule modules, and report generation modules. Each module handles specific aspects of the validation process independently. This segmentation allows comprehensive validation to be achieved through coordinated simple modules rather than one complex monolithic system, resolving the contradiction by maintaining high accuracy through thorough checking while managing complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal validation platform that can handle multiple types of loan data (commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, agricultural, consumer loans) and generate various regulatory reports (Call Report, Consolidated Report of Condition and Income) through a single integrated system. This multi-functional design achieves comprehensive validation accuracy across diverse loan types while avoiding the complexity of separate validation systems for each loan type.
3Productivity
If automated validation systems are implemented, then processing efficiency increases, but data security risks may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary automated validation system that acts as a controlled bridge between raw loan data and regulatory reporting requirements. This intermediary system processes data through structured validation rules and approved reporting formats, thereby increasing efficiency while actually reducing security risks compared to manual handling. The systematic intermediary layer provides audit trails and controlled data transformation that protect against security vulnerabilities.
Data Source
AI summary
Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for retrieving a loan data stored in a first data store containing commercial and industrial (C&I) loan data, commercial real estate (CRE) loan data, off-balance sheet (OBS) loan data, commitment to issue a commitment (CTC) loan data, or a combination thereof. The methods additionally include retrieving, from a second data store, a set of configurable business rules, and selecting, via a loan validation tool (LVT) system executable via one or more processors, one or more configurable business rules from the set of configurable business rules based on characteristics of the retrieved loan data. The methods further include applying, via the LVT system, the selected configurable business rules to the loan data to validate the loan data, and generating a loan validation result, wherein the configurable business rules are updatable in the second data store without interruption to operations of the LVT system.
