Customer Story: A Smarter Way to Lend

How a Malaysian Financing Company Uses CheckDulu to Prevent High-Risk Lending

As a financing company, we often face the risk of lending to individuals with hidden legal or financial red flags. CheckDulu helps us uncover these risks early  before they turn into costly mistakes.

We were genuinely impressed that nearly 90% of our internal high-risk list matched with CheckDulu’s court records. Combined with its KYC verification and travel restriction alerts, we now have a full-circle view of each applicant’s credibility and that gives us the confidence to make faster, smarter, and more responsible lending decisions.This level of accuracy gives us the confidence to make better lending decisions.

Thanks to CheckDulu, we managed to reject or delay applications that could’ve turned into bad debt. It acts like a pre-lending firewall for us  helping us protect our business and cash flow.

Hidden Risks in Borrower Profiles

For this licensed financing company, protecting capital from high-risk borrowers was a growing concern. Traditional methods of background checks were time consuming and often missed legal red flags, especially court related matters.

The KYC feature helped validate applicants’ identities and cross-check business affiliations, preventing misuse of company names or fake positions. Meanwhile, travel restriction section revealed unresolved legal or tax obligations that may signal repayment risk.


We’ve had a few cases where clients looked clean on the surface, but were later found to have active or past court cases. The travel restriction alert also is an underrated gem. If someone is barred from leaving the country, we know there’s something serious going on.

Screening with CheckDulu

The team began using CheckDulu to verify borrower backgrounds, specifically to detect court cases, adverse media, and credibility risks before issuing any offer letters.

 

“The moment we integrated CheckDulu into our due diligence flow, the difference was clear. The hit rate on court case matches alone was around 90%. That gave us a strong reason to either pause or reject financing to those profiles.”
