QualityKiosk Helps a Leading Private Sector Bank Achieve Intelligent, Real-Time Loan Deduplication

Industry & Segment

Banking & Financial Services

Objective

To enable real time and accurate detection of duplicate loan applications including in-process cases through a scalable and secure rule based deduplication system that reduces fraud and accelerates loan approvals.

Overview

A leading private sector bank in India sought to strengthen its loan processing system by minimizing duplicate applications and reducing potential fraud.

The bank aimed to leverage the Elasticsearch stack to design and deploy an advanced, rule-driven deduplication system that could accurately detect duplicate loan applications, including in-flight transactions (applications still under processing), while maintaining speed, accuracy, and compliance with stringent security standards.

Engagement Overview

The bank’s existing systems could only detect duplicates among disbursed loans, leaving in-process applications unchecked. This key compliance gap increased the risk of duplicate loans, data inconsistencies, and fraud.

To close this gap, QualityKiosk Technologies designed and implemented a high-performance, deduplication search engine powered by Elasticsearch, AWS Lambda, and other AWS components.

The project involved building a custom service layer that handled over 40 complex API calls dynamically, ensuring only relevant checks were executed per transaction while maintaining sub-second response times, even at scale.

Business Challenges

Limited Deduplication Scope

The legacy system only identified duplicates in disbursed loans, leaving in-progress applications unchecked.

Risk of Fraud and Delinquency

Multiple active loans to the same customer increased exposure to default and compliance risks.

Search Accuracy & Rule Complexity

The system needed to handle varied user inputs (e.g., names or PAN formats) while delivering accurate, reliable search results.

QualityKiosk’s Solution and Approach

image

QualityKiosk designed and implemented a next-generation Elasticsearch-based deduplication framework, engineered for precision, scalability, and compliance.

1. Intelligent, rule-based deduplication logic

  • Optimized execution by running only needed API calls from up to 42 queries. For example, if a user entered a PAN, only PAN-related validation rules were triggered; if a mobile number or email was provided, corresponding match rules were executed dynamically.
  • This adaptive rule execution significantly improved query performance and system efficiency.

 

2. Enhanced search relevance with advanced analyzers

  • Leveraged custom Soundex analyzers and fuzzy matching capabilities to detect similar-sounding names or variations.
  • Supported both exact match and partial (percentage-based) match conditions for improved deduplication accuracy.

 

3. Cloud-Native Architecture on AWS

  • Deployed on AWS Lambda to enable scalable, event-driven query execution.
  • Integrated Logstash with the JDBC plugin for incremental data ingestion, ensuring up-to-date results across millions of records.

 

4. Enterprise-Grade Security and Compliance

  • Implemented role-based access controls, data encryption/decryption, and ensured the entire setup passed VAPT validation at the client’s end.
  • Continuous collaboration with the bank’s security teams ensured compliance with internal IT and audit standards.
