Objectives
- Support the receipt and processing of a new loan application
- Support the submission of loan documents and receipt of electronic signatures
- Create a new customer and loan account in the target financial system
- Provide a means for customers to view their customer and loan account details
Use case considerations
- Must support loan application submission and processing workflow
- Must support customer and account synchronization to a system of record
- Must support the generation of loan agreement documents and capture receipt of signatures from individuals
Technical considerations and constraints
The following lists the technical considerations for this solution design:
- Use CIM as the canonical model, where applicable (e.g., for Customers)
- The canonical model for banking accounts will be enhanced to include loan applications
- The following applications will be leveraged for this solution: Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC), Loan Origination System (generic), DocuSign, Equifax, and MDM (generic)
The following lists the technical constraints for this solution design:
- Equifax integration for retrieving credit scores is pending and will be added in the next release
- A Loan Origination System (LOS) sandbox environment is simulated using a generic database
- Only read access is currently available to the FIS Global system
- FIS must be polled to pick up changes to customer and account information
- FIS does not support querying customers and accounts by date ranges
Business requirements
The following summarizes the business requirements as it pertains to the solution design:
- The loan application submission will be captured via the Mobile interface and recorded in a generic Loan Origination System (LOS)
- The personal information given on the application will be used to create/update an Individual entry in both FSC and MDM
- A loan agreement document will be generated based on the content of the loan application and associated with the application in the LOS
- The agreement document must be submitted to DocuSign in order to obtain the individual's signature, indicating that they agree to the terms and conditions
- Upon receiving confirmation that the document has been signed, a Customer must be created or updated in FSC and a new Loan Account created for them
Solution design summary
The implementation of this use case builds upon the Customer accounts sync use case and adds the following capabilities:
- Full customer sync between FSC and the FINS DB (customer profile data store)
- A generic Loan Origination System, using the FINS DB for data storage
- Integration with DocuSign, both for submitting documents and receiving events
- Integration with Equifax to retrieve credit score reports
- Additional endpoints for the Mobile Experience API to support the retrieval and submission of loan applications
For the customer sync process, existing assets from the Retail accelerator are leveraged. These are customized and deployed separately. To support testing and demo activities, the Mobile Experience API provides a method to obtain a loan application form, which can be filled out and submitted to begin the process. For this release, a random credit score is calculated and the approve/deny decision is made based upon a configurable score threshold.
