Salary and recurring inflow detection

Kuda Technologies

35% coverage uplift over the third-party supplier

Problem

Lending affordability assessment required reliable detection of salary and recurring income. Third-party supplier (Mono) had limited coverage, particularly on accounts with sparse transaction history.

What I built

Designed an algorithmic framework for salary and recurring inflow detection from raw transaction data, replacing reliance on a third-party supplier with limited coverage. System directly feeds into credit eligibility and affordability decisioning.

Results

  • 35% coverage uplift over the third-party supplier.
  • 45% uplift on accounts where the supplier returned no data.
  • 9% false positive rate.
  • Directly improved credit eligibility accuracy for underbanked customers.
