About this event

We invite you to participate in an exciting hackathon aimed at creating a tool that helps banks assess loan applications. 

Your challenge is to develop a tool that assists banks in making informed lending decisions. Start by conducting an analysis to identify important metrics, such as credit history, income levels, debt-to-income ratios, and employment stability, which influence repayment likelihood. Next, develop a robust scoring system to rank these metrics by importance, creating a clear and concise credit risk score that summarizes the borrower’s reliability. We will validate your tool using real loan data to ensure its accuracy and effectiveness in predicting outcomes. Finally, design an intuitive user interface that facilitates easy data input and interpretation, enabling users to navigate the tool confidently, regardless of their technical expertise.

All submissions will be collected via this Google Form: https://forms.gle/gcEsatMvdfby98kZ7  before the 23rd of October 23:59.
