# Loan origination use case

> Loan origination use case for Maestro, walking through application intake, evaluation, approval, and funding stages in a financial institution workflow.

Use Case: **Loan origination** is the end-to-end process a financial institution follows to evaluate, approve, and fund a borrower’s loan application. It typically involves the following key steps:

* **Application intake**

   The borrower submits personal, financial, and loan-specific information via a digital or in-person channel.
* **Document collection and verification**

   The lender collects required documents (e.g., ID, proof of income, tax returns), and verifies their authenticity.
* **Credit evaluation**

   The borrower’s credit report is pulled from credit bureaus. Key metrics like credit score, income-to-debt ratio, and repayment history are analyzed to assess risk.
* **Loan product matching**

   The applicant is matched to suitable loan products based on their profile and needs (e.g., fixed vs. variable rate, term length, government-backed loans).
* **Underwriting**

   Automated or manual underwriting applies the institution’s risk models and lending policies to decide if the borrower qualifies.
* **Compliance and fraud checks**

   The process includes identity verification, fraud detection, and checks for regulatory compliance (e.g., KYC/AML).
* **Approval or rejection**

   The borrower receives a decision. If approved, terms are provided, and closing documents are prepared.
* **Loan closing and disbursement**

   Upon acceptance, the borrower signs final documents, and funds are disbursed.
