What are loan products?


Loan products are the different loan categories that you offer to your borrowers. It specifies the type of loan it is, the range of amounts it offers, and the range of tenors that it makes available. As a Lender, you can create multiple loan products for different sections of your target market. 


The two common sections of the target market that lenders usually create loan products for are SMEs and those that are taking personal loans.


When you create different products to cater to different sections of the market, you also get to specify the scoring model for that particular product and in essence for that particular section of the market. This allows you to focus on that section of the market.
