AgFirst Credit Bank needed to develop an agile approach to working to make their loan approval, special asset management and onboarding processes more efficient and keep up with the stringent, ever-changing regulations that surround the finance industry.

As a result, AgFirst launched a project to deliver robust and reusable business processes. Utilizing agile methodology and Bizagi’s digital process automation platform, AgFirst now has a responsive, mobile DPA platform capable of adapting to its customers’ changing needs, all without increasing headcount and dramatically improving compliance consistency. Additional benefits include the efficiency of loan analysis which saw them close cases 60% faster than expected.

Our decision to choose Bizagi was a strategic move to deliver agility within changing market conditions. Above all we wanted to be able to create solutions in a short amount of time.
