FirstLight Bank

The Challenge

Processing 8,000+ loan applications monthly across 3 legacy systems — each requiring 45 minutes of manual data entry and verification per application. Staff were spending 6,000 hours per month on data transfer alone.

What We Built

We built a custom AI document processing pipeline that extracts applicant data from uploaded documents, validates it against credit bureau APIs, flags anomalies for human review, and posts verified records to all three systems automatically.

"We were skeptical that a solution this comprehensive could go live in under a week. The Forged Direxion team proved us wrong on day three."
