The adoption, which emphasises an API-first approach, is expected to refine DF Capital’s operational efficiency.

The bank anticipates that this will lead to faster decision-making processes and the implementation of “touch-free automation” to improve the lending process for its customers.

Lendscape’s system is claimed to act as a “product engine” that facilitates DF Capital’s ability to integrate with additional tools and launch new financial products with relative ease.

Lendscape technology will help DF Capital to use data and AI in its digital lending services.
