Fitted to how your credit team already works

Setup is done within a week: Kaaj learns your template, spreading model, and policy, then you compare its memos with your own on real deals.

Your credit committee template

Kaaj mirrors your memo section by section. No template? It is built from your last 10 memos.

Your Excel spreading model

Spreads and ratios follow your model, add-back rules, and formulas, and export to Excel.

Different memos by business unit

Separate templates for product lines or units, such as a short screen for small-ticket and a long-form write-up for committee deals.

Your debt schedule

Underwriters edit the parsed debt schedule line by line, zeroing out paid-off debt and adding the new payment, and DSCR recalculates.

Multi-entity borrowers

Holding-company and operating-company financials are spread and combined in one write-up.

Every number traceable

Click any number in the spread to open the exact line in the source PDF, even in multi-year audited packages.

Your credit policy

Your rules are configured into the memo as pass or fail checks, and you decide how they change.

Your systems

The memo and its data land in Salesforce, HubSpot, LeasePath, or your LOS, and export to Excel.

Proof before you buy

Run your own sample deals under NDA and compare the output with the memos your team already wrote.

Kaaj vs. bank credit memo modules vs. general AI assistants

Bank-platform memo tools write from data already inside the bank. General AI assistants write from whatever you paste in. Kaaj starts from the borrower's raw package and verifies it before writing.

Credit memo automation FAQ

What is credit memo automation?

Software that assembles the credit memo from the loan package: it verifies the business, analyzes bank statements and financials, checks fraud signals and credit policy, and drafts the memo in your template with every finding linked to its source, for an underwriter to review and approve.

Can Kaaj write memos in our own credit memo template?

Yes. Kaaj mirrors your template section by section, including custom fields, or builds it from your last 10 memos if you do not have one written down. Different business units can have their own templates, from a short screening memo for small-ticket deals to a long-form committee write-up covering industry, ownership, the debt schedule, and structure. Setup is typically done within a week.

Can Kaaj spread financials into our own Excel model?

Yes. Financial statements and tax returns in PDF, Excel, or Word are spread into your model, line items, and formulas. DSCR, cash flow, and global debt service are calculated the way your worksheets define them, and the spread exports back to Excel.

Can underwriters adjust the debt schedule?

Yes. The parsed debt schedule is editable line by line: underwriters remove paid-off obligations, add the proposed payment, and coverage ratios recalculate before the memo is finalized.

How does Kaaj handle borrowers with more than one entity?

Each entity is spread separately, and holding-company and operating-company financials are combined in one write-up, so global cash flow reflects the whole borrower group.

Can we trace every number back to the source document?

Yes. Every number in a Kaaj spread links to the exact line in the source PDF, including multi-year audited packages, and items that could not be verified are labeled rather than filled in.

How is our credit policy applied?

Your credit rules and document checklist are configured into the memo as met or not met checks, with exceptions called out first. Your team decides when rules and thresholds change.

How long does Kaaj take to produce a credit memo?

A typical application package is processed in 5–7 minutes, from intake through verification, analysis, and a draft memo. Larger packages with multi-year audited financials take longer.

Where does the finished memo go?

The memo and the structured data behind it are written to Salesforce, HubSpot, LeasePath, or your LOS automatically, and spreads export to Excel.

Can we try Kaaj on our own deals first?

Yes. Lenders run a few of their own recent deals, redacted if needed and under NDA, and compare Kaaj's memos with the ones their team already wrote for the same files.

Does the AI make the credit decision?

No. Kaaj drafts the memo and shows which policy rules are met or not met; your underwriters add qualitative judgment, edit the memo, and make the decision.

Is a loan credit memo the same as an accounts-receivable credit memo?

No. In lending, a credit memo is the underwriting write-up that recommends approving or declining a loan. In accounts receivable, a credit memo is a document that reduces what a customer owes. Kaaj automates lending credit memos.
