A prominent NBFC from North India, focused on secured and MSME lending, was scaling its loan book rapidly. However, insurance—while mandatory and valuable—was introducing friction into disbursement timelines and operational workflows.

The Challenge

Time-sensitive lending meets regulated insurance

  • Loan disbursement timelines impacted by manual insurance issuance
  • Credit life premiums not aligned to loan tenure, increasing borrower cost
  • High dependency on medical and NML cases
  • Inability to offer multiple insurance products in real time
  • Limited visibility into policy status, premiums, and reconciliation

What the NBFC Needed

  • Faster loan disbursement without regulatory risk
  • Tenure-aligned, cost-efficient credit life pricing
  • Reduced medical and NML dependency
  • Real-time issuance for eligible cases
  • Centralised insurance reporting and reconciliation

The Symbo Approach

Digitised, tenure-aware insurance infrastructure built for NBFC scale

  • Custom credit life products structured by loan tenure
  • Dynamic premium logic reducing premiums for a majority of borrowers
  • Digitised MEF workflows with 40+ structured data inputs
  • Real-time issuance for non-medical cases
  • API-led product expansion enabling add-ons like EMI protection
  • Centralised dashboards for policy status, earnings, and reconciliation

Impact at Scale

  • 80% reduction in loan disbursement TAT
  • 8% optimisation in insurance pricing
  • 86% reduction in medical checkup criteria
  • NML cases reduced from double digits to low single digits
  • Claims servicing streamlined to < 3 days TAT

“Lending is our core strength, but credit-linked insurance had become a bottleneck due to complex workflows and insurer coordination. Symbo automated these processes end-to-end, significantly improving our disbursement timelines, CX metrics, and post-issuance operations like claims and reconciliation.”
