Project Title Create a Data Driven Underwriting Model for a top LatAm FinTech (Mexico City, MX)
Project Topics Data Management Product Design & Development Reporting, Financial Planning & Analysis
Skills & Expertise
Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
Arrenda is interested in utilizing the latest advances in data science and AI/ML to enhance its credit underwriting & pricing model. Currently, underwriting is driven via a manual operation in which a variety of standard financial data is gathered and revised. Upon a pass/fail score being achieved, a fixed rate interest rate is assigned to the credit facility. We would like to enhance this model by adding additional "altdata" sources, and creating a "smart pricing" rate based financing key markers (credit risk, term duration, facility size, etc.)

Project Address: Sinaloa 195, Piso 3, Roma Norte, CDMX, MX 06700
Project Synopsis: Activities/Actions Required
1. Assessment of current underwriting model
2. Assessment of comparable underwriting models/industry standards
3. Analysis & proposal of possible data integrations, structure & variable inputs
4. Analysis & proposal of financing model
5. Execution of data model
Project Synopsis: Expected Results
We would consider this project to be a success if a deployed underwriting engine was produced, or at the minimum, a thorough proposal for execution was created.
