India has over 6.3 milion MSMEs, with an unmet credit gap of 120 billion USD. According to 2024 Trans Union CIBIL report, only 2.5 million MSMEs have access to formal credit. MSMEs have a high demand for loans under 1 Lakh also known as small ticket loans. The lending process for such loans is often mired by traditional credit underwriting processes relying on credit histories and documentation such as Balance sheets, income statements, Cashflow statements etc.Lenders have adopted cutting edge AI fintech tools to streamline loan management for their loan products that follow the standard credit underwriting process. However, small ticket loans for MSMEs, come with unique and complex needs for credit underwriting. MSMEs have limited credit histories and prevalence of informal bookkeeping practices. This makes it difficult to provide the necessary documentation for lenders, especially for frequent, low-value transactions.

MSME lenders have to rely on year-long bank statements to analyze the financial health of their applicants. These bank statements run into hundreds of pages due to low-value transactions and often across different bank accounts. The credit operations teams of such lenders take an average of 1-2 days to analyze these bank statements. Therefore, MSME lenders need faster processing systems to address the underserved MSME segment. Here are 4 bank statement analyzers for MSME lenders, offering outstanding performance and superior reliability.
