This credit risk modeling project for a modest-scale finance company encompasses the entire process, from data collection and exploratory data analysis (EDA) to deployment.

This is an end to end machine learning project using Random Forest to predict credit risk of German Bank's customers. By employing predictive models, the bank can make informed decisions that balance profit generation with prudent risk management, ultimately benefiting both the institution and its customers.

Numerous companies from financial indutry often invest considerable resources to improve their predictive models with the aim of having better insights into their customers. Such an interest in model improvement has intensified in recent years mostly because of fast development of machine learning and artificial intelligence. For standard lending institution default predictive model with high performance helps to considerably minimize Credit Loss, resulting in higher revenue and profits. Usually the better predictive model the more efficient is the underwriting policy and collection process. A well-functioning model should distinguish creditworthy customers from those that are credit risks. Often, more-predictive credit-decisioning model can identify a greater number of customers within an institution’s specified risk tolerance, which should expand revenues as well. In this project the goal is to increase detection of defaulted loans before the loan is issued/offered by P2P lending company - Lending Club. Peer-to-peer lending differs from traditional financial institutions like banks or commercial lending companies. So, Lending Club is a mediator between investors and borrowers, earning money by charging both. The main Lending Club interest is to attract more clients and maintain protfolio size. The motivation of borrowers is clear, they want to find as cheap capital as possible, so they're seeking for the best offer at the market, which is available for them. In case of investors the motivation is obvious as well. Investors look for high ROI (return of investments), but remembering that returns are proportional to risks, we may formalize saying, that investors look for appropriate returns/risks ratio. If investors experience losses it may cause churn rate growth. The underwriting process for Lending Club looks like this. Borrower applies for the loan, then if he/she meets all the basic requirements - Lending Club using their scoring model assigns client to respective grade. There are 7 grades and 35 sub-grades. Interest rate is dependent on sub-grade. After that, Lending Club gives access to the loan for investors with information about the loan and the borrower (incl. grade and sub-grade) and investors decide whether or not to invest money in this loan. The lower the grade the higher the interest rate, which means, that investors may take higher risks to gain potentially higher returns. Seeking for default rate reduction we can end up with too restrictive underwriting policy which does not neccessary correlate with higher ROI for investors, because we'll not let investors choose risky loans, which means lower interests. For Lending Club it probably means the loss of investors with high risk appetite and borrowers with weak credit history, or in case of Lending Club those who need higher loan amount.

1. Enhancements to Oportun FAIR Tool Background About Oportun: Since we opened our doors in 2005, we have worked hard every day to serve the approximately 100 million people in the United States who are typically shut out of the financial mainstream because they don’t have a credit score or have limited credit history. Our mission-based, technology-powered approach is designed to be inclusive, affordable, and empowering. By lending money to hardworking, low-to-moderate-income individuals, we help our customers move forward in their lives, demonstrate their creditworthiness, and establish the credit history they need to access new opportunities. And our model is working. We’ve provided more than 3.8 million affordable small-dollar loans that have saved customers an estimated $1.7 billion in interest and fees compared to alternative lenders, according to a study commissioned by Oportun and conducted by the Financial Health Network, a leading nonprofit authority on consumer financial health. In 2020, we were listed in the top 10 most innovative finance companies by Fast Company . In 2019, our personal loans were named best consumer lending product by FinTech Breakthrough . And in 2018, we were recognized for our role in inventing the future as one of Time magazine’s Genius Companies . At Oportun, we’re building a community of employees, partners, and customers who support each other on the path to new opportunities, because we believe that when we work together, we can make life better. Problem(s) This project will focus on developing front- and back-end functionality for a quantitative, cybersecurity risk analysis tool. At Oportun, we developed a tool in Excel that allows us to perform quantitative, cybersecurity risk analyses based on the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) framework. FAIR enables us to utilize data from a variety of sources to estimate loss frequency and magnitude of loss for specific security risks. The tool currently requires manual data input into an Excel workbook and relies on complex derivation formulas (all built in Excel) to calculate the various FAIR metrics. For this project, we are looking to complete multiple objectives: (1) Build a front-end user interface that communicates with the to-be built back-end and provides a rich interface through which a user may input values and receive analysis output in real-time; and (2) a back-end data storage and analysis solution that receives input from the user, calculates FAIR metrics based on custom-built algorithms, and returns the necessary data to the front end for user consumption. The back-end should also be capable of saving risk analyses for future evaluation. Prior to the project starting, Oportun will provide background on FAIR, a detailed presentation of current FAIR tool capabilities, risk calculation algorithms, and sample data for use during development and testing. The chosen solution set will be included in an Open Source version of the FAIR tool that Oportun anticipates releasing in Q4 2020. Objectives Please see above for objectives. Success criteria include the following: • Enhanced user experience through simple, elegant, responsive front-end development • Algorithm development: consistency with existing Excel algorithms • Data storage: ability to store and retrieve cyber risk analyses
