Before you start to build your lending software, it’s important to investigate the types of this software and pick the one that is the most winning for you. In general, we can outline the following loan software types:
- For large organizations:
- Mortgage fintech software
- Retail loan software
- Business loan platforms
- Student loan software
- For private lenders:
- Loan accounting software
- Online loan application

What are the key features you should include in your lending software?
Of course, the feature set of your software fully depends on your ideas and needs. Still, some features can be considered a ‘golden standard’ and should be included in any loan platform:
- Registration/Login (for the user’s convenience it will be great to add the ability to register or login via Google account or social networks + two-factor authentication)
- Apply for Loans
- Define a payback period
- Interest calculation
- Payment schedule and billing
- Connect your bank account and transfer money to it
and many other basic features.

Among them are chatbots, smart analytics, Robo-advisors, bank support, multilingual and multi-currency, integration with different payment systems and other digital solutions, etc. Of course, there’s no need to implement all these features at once, it’s very important to investigate your project and decide which one feature will be the most winning for you.
