Let's get started by searching for a new client and initiating the loan process.
To create a new loan in Mobiloan, start by searching for the client. Select "New Loan" and a client search window will appear.
Note: Don't be confused if you don't see the option to create a new client. Mobiloan automatically determines the client type when using a lookup method such as ID number or Passport Number.
Next, select how you'd like to search (e.g., Name, ID) and enter the corresponding details in the field.
Existing Client: If the client is found, you'll be taken directly to the New Loan Landing Page to start processing their loan application.
New Client: If the client isn't found, Mobiloan will redirect you to the Client Profile where you can create a new profile for them.

We can import most of your client information from their existing ALLPS profile into Mobiloan.
For more details, visit our FAQ website.
Since you're searching for a new client by ID number, Mobiloan will always direct you to the Client Profile screen. This ensures all client information is captured before proceeding.
Here, you can build a complete profile for your new client. Simply fill in the following required details:
Personal Information: Full Name, ID Number, Contact Details (phone number, email, etc.)
Branch and Category: Assign the client to the appropriate branch and category within your organization. (Optional: Grant Type codes, if applicable)
Tips:
Enter accurate and complete information for future reference.
Double-check all details before saving the profile.
Upon loading a particular bad client , Mobiloan would have automatically flagged them as blocked by setting a Hold Status
Once you have searched for a client, you will be directed to the first step of the Origination Workflow.
Don't lose your way, the workflow sidebar acts as the perfect navigation tool and keeps you on track during any loan application.
It shows you exactly where you're at (like a handy checklist) and lets you jump back if you need to fix something.
Plus, it shrinks up neatly to the top of your screen when you're using the app on your phone (portrait mode).
Navigation Hotlinks
Try selecting the following rows in the client summary table ->
"New Client" ~ Click the current status to go directly to the Client Menu.
"Client ID Number " ~ This link opens the Client Profile.
"User Area" ~ Shows the area selection dialog.
"Balance" ~ Navigates to the Client Ledger.
"Next Loan" ~ Displays definitions for different loan frequencies (in case you forget).
No more wondering what to do next! The large horizontal button at the bottom acts as your guide throughout the workflow.
Denoted by the `` icon, selecting this button reveals additional options related to the current screen.
When creating a new loan for a first-time client, you'll need to link it to a specific area. This helps Mobiloan assign the loan to the appropriate branch based on location.
For subsequent loans taken by the same client, Mobiloan will warn you if the new loan falls outside the area linked to their previous loan. This ensures consistency and helps manage loan distribution geographically. This way, we can
Ensure proper branch assignment for new clients.
Monitor loan location consistency for existing clients.
Pick the area you want from the menu that shows up.

In this step of the Origination workflow you are required to perform a credit check on the client to assess their creditworthiness .
The screenshot below showcases the Credit Enquiry Screen. To initiate a credit check and obtain a Credit Report for the client, simply select the primary button labeled "New Enquiry."
Click the links below to view the layout of the standard credit reports retrieved by the associated bureau's in Mobiloan
Mobiloan does the heavy lifting for you! During the credit enquiry, it analyzes the client's credit report to calculate their total monthly credit account expenses. This amount, known as the Bureau Account Expense, is automatically factored into the affordability assessment later in the workflow
Bureau adjustments must be enabled in Role Rights for that user to make adjustments to the client's bureau expenses.
Select the account you wish to cancel from the table.
Select a reason from the list of cancellation reasons.
Select the installment amount from the table you wish to edit
Type in the new value.
In this step, we determine if a loan makes financial sense for the client.
Simply enter the client's income and expense details, as shown in the example of a worker's affordability in the screenshot below
The system will automatically calculate the required expenses based on the category requirements or NCR minimum.
Select `Calculate` once you have entered the expenses, Mobiloan will use pre-defined limits based on the client's category (set up during Category Setup).
The outcome of the affordability will be detailed and presented in the following screen (shown below)
To begin the Affordability Evaluation Process, please specify the client's primary income source. Available options include Salary Income, Informal Income, or a combination of both.
Depending on whether or not Informal Income is enabled for the client category ,
When indicating informal income as an income source, you'll need to specify the exact nature of the client's work. This information is crucial for accurate credit assessment and regulatory compliance.
Adding or Editing Informal Work Type
Custom Occupations can also be created or edited during Category Setup.

To continue with the origination process, you must first initiate a new FIC inquiry. This involves conducting a thorough Client Due Diligence assessment.
Note: This step is only mandatory if the FIC Enquiry Configuration settings are enabled.
Refer to the following section for detailed instructions on how to perform an FIC Screening and Client Due Diligence during Loan Origination.
The FIC Enquiry and Due Diligence Process consists of the following components :
Risk Assessment: Conduct a thorough analysis of the client's cooperation and behavior to assign a risk indicator (High = Poor, Low = Good).
Client Profiling: Ask the client relevant questions about their occupation and lifestyle to determine if they fall under the DPIP or FPPO categories.
TFS Checklist: Click the "TFS Checklist" button to initiate a real-time TFS list check against the FICA database.
See assessment dialog below to follow the process of a new FIC Enquiry
Consider the following questions when doing a risk assessment to determine the DPIP / FPPO Category:
Role-Based Questions:
"Are you currently holding or have you previously held a senior government position?"
"Are you a senior executive at a state-owned enterprise?"
"Do you hold a high-ranking position in any political party or international organization?"
Family and Close Associates:
"Are any of your close family members (e.g., spouse, parent, sibling) in a senior public role?"
"Do you have close business relationships with any prominent political or government figures?"
Timeframe and Recency:
"Have you held any senior public position within the last year?"
For more information on What DPIP / FPPO Individuals are, see below : UNDERSTANDING DPIP / FPPO
Real-time Assessment: When you click the "TFS Checklist" button, Mobiloan will automatically perform a live screening of the client against the TFS List.
Customizable Risk Parameters: The Risk Level and Score are based of the user defined RMCP (Risk Management and Control Plan) settings. Refer to "RMCP" for more details.
A Client Due diligence report is automatically generated and stored on the client's profile in Mobiloan.
The 'Client and Cooperation & Behavior' section of the report is based on the Loan Originator's assessment. The remaining information is automatically populated from Mobiloan's database using the most recent client data.
FIC ENQUIRY EVALUATION
If the loan originator lacks the necessary permissions to perform a Client Due Diligence, the system will automatically request an evaluation from a qualified user.
The evaluator will be required to approve the FIC Enquiry before proceeding.
The Transaction Screen allows you to finalize the payout and repayment options.
Here's what you'll need to enter:
Reason and Purpose: Briefly describe why the client needs the loan. Mobiloan requires this information for legal reasons. Click the button below "Purpose" to choose from a list of pre-configured purpose categories options.
Payout Method: Choose how you want to disburse the loan to the client. Popular options include eWallet. You can see all available payout methods in the dropdown menu.
Repayment Method: Select the client's preferred prepayment method. Debi check is a common choice. See all available options in the dropdown menu.
Here's a breakdown of the authentication methods for each option:
TT1 Delayed: Approval for this method will be confirmed by 10 PM on the chosen due date.
TT1 Realtime: This method offers instant approval, typically reflecting within 120 seconds of your confirmation.
TT2 Delayed: Approval for this method will be processed in a batch, so there might be a slight delay.
TT3: This method requires you to use your card and PIN for verification at an ATM, mobile banking app, or a USB terminal.
SEFT: Similar to TT3, you'll need to use your card and PIN to authenticate through a mobile banking app or a USB terminal.
If a repayment method requires an associated bank account, the primary button will force you to create the new bank account. This ensures you have the client's accurate bank account information for sending the loan amount.
Note that this is only required when the repayment option is a Debit Order / EFT.
Simply select the Repayment Account primary button to view, edit or create a new bank account.
You will then be required to enter the client's bank details (shown below)
Next Steps - Save and Link Repayment Account
Once you've entered the repayment bank details, click "Save" to confirm and link the account to the client's profile. This ensures all future loan repayments will be collected from this designated account.
For an extra layer of security, Mobiloan will force you to perform and Account Verification (AVS-R) on the newly created bank account. AVS-R stands for Account Verification Service - Realtime.
It verifies that the billing address associated with the bank account matches the client's information on file with Mobiloan.
Simply select 'AVS' to navigate to the AVS-R page.
