Personal and auto loan application to approval

How do we take a personal or auto loan from application to approval and signed documents without the file stalling between teams?

Run the application, the verification, the approval routing and the signing as one process. Callvu prefills the application, verifies income and identity as documents arrive, captures the consents before the credit pull, routes the approval to the right person by amount and policy, delivers the Truth in Lending disclosures before consummation, captures the signatures on the applicant's phone, and writes the decision and the signed documents to the loan system. Live at Banca Transilvania, where digital loan applications show 34 percent lower abandonment than the PDF process and sales-led applications are decided 4 days faster.

The problem today

The application is a PDF, the approval is an email thread, and the signing is an appointment.

Today, without Callvu

The applicant downloads a form, fills it in by hand, photographs it and sends it to a loan officer. The loan officer keys it into the loan system, asks for a pay slip by email, and forwards the file to underwriting when it looks complete. Underwriting asks for the pay slip again. The approval goes up by email to whoever has the authority for that amount. The applicant comes in to sign.

Each step waits for the previous one to be noticed. The Reg B 30-day clock from a completed application runs through all of it. The Truth in Lending disclosures must reach the borrower before consummation, and the consent for the credit report must exist before the pull, and in a process made of emails neither order can be proven.

Abandonment is the cost nobody sees. An applicant who has to print, sign and photograph a form, or wait a week for a decision, often does not finish, and the bank never learns why.

How it runs

From the requestto the system of record.

An applicant starts online, in the app, in a branch, or with a sales agent on a call. The same process opens from each door; an existing customer is identified and the application opens prefilled.

Applicant: Completes the application once, uploads documents, gives consents, and signs on their phone.
Loan officer: Starts or assists the application on the same screens, and sees what is missing and for how long.
Underwriting: Receives a complete, verified application and decides within policy.
Approver: The person whose authority covers the amount or the exception, deciding in the Decision Desk.
Callvu: Prefills, classifies, chases and verifies, enforces consent before the pull, routes the approval, delivers disclosures, captures signatures and writes to the loan system.

Prefill
Identity, contact details, existing accounts and, where the bank holds it, income are prefilled from the core and the CRM. The applicant confirms and enters only what is missing. Data validation runs on every field.
Classify
The product (personal, auto), the amount and the applicant's situation set the required items: income proof, identification, a co-borrower, the vehicle and its value for an auto loan, and the disclosures the product requires.
Consent before the pull
The authorization for a consumer report, E-SIGN consent and the privacy notice are captured on a process-controlled screen, timestamped, before the credit report is requested. A pull without a recorded authorization is blocked.
Chase and verify
Each missing document is requested from the person who has it, by text or email with an upload link, and read and checked as it arrives: income against the stated figure, identification against the application, the vehicle against the purchase documents. The file shows what is missing and how long it has waited.
Decide and route
Automated decision steps run within the bank's policy. Approvals above a limit or with an exception route to the approver whose authority covers them, in the Decision Desk, with the complete file and only the allowed outcomes. The decision is recorded with the approver and the time.
Disclose, sign, write back
The Truth in Lending disclosures are delivered before consummation and the loan agreement is signed on the applicant's phone, with timestamps. The decision, the signed documents, the consents and the approval history are written to the loan system once.

Where it ends: The decision and the signed documents are in the loan system with the consents, the verification results and the approval history, and the applicant has the notice the decision requires. The Decision Trace shows the rules and the order; the Audit Trace shows every step and every person.

Runtime enforcement

What is enforcedwhile the work runs.

The regulations preloaded in Callvu Studio and the bank's own policies, applied as steps that run, not lines in a binder. A step that breaks a rule does not run, so a completed run was compliant.

Regulations

US requirements shown. Banca Transilvania runs this process under national rules outside the US; Callvu loads each market's rules as policies the same way.

Reg B (ECOA, 12 CFR 1002.9): Notice of action taken within 30 days after receiving a completed application; for an incomplete application, a notice of incompleteness naming the needed information and a reasonable deadline, or an adverse action notice. An adverse action notice states the action, the creditor's name and address, the ECOA notice, and the specific reasons or the right to request them within 60 days.
Reg Z closed-end credit disclosures (12 CFR 1026.17 and 1026.18): For a personal or auto loan, the Truth in Lending disclosures (amount financed, finance charge, APR, total of payments, payment schedule, security interest) must be given before consummation, clearly and conspicuously, in a form the consumer may keep. Electronic delivery requires E-SIGN consent.
FCRA (15 USC 1681b and 1681m): A consumer report may be obtained only with a permissible purpose, the applicant's own application, and the authorization must exist before the pull. An adverse action based on the report names the consumer reporting agency, states it did not make the decision, and gives the rights to a free copy and to dispute; a credit score used is disclosed with its key factors.
E-SIGN consent (15 USC 7001): Before the disclosures are delivered electronically, the applicant consents in a way that demonstrates access, after the required statements.

Company policies

The required documents and consents per product and amount are set by the bank's credit policy and applied by Callvu, not chosen by the loan officer.
No consumer report is requested until the authorization is recorded with a timestamp.
Approval authority by amount and exception type is a routing table in the process; an approval outside it cannot be recorded.
The Truth in Lending disclosures precede the signature, and the signature precedes the write to the loan system.
The loan system is the system of record; Callvu writes to it once.

Controls

Prefill from the core and the CRM, with data validation on every field.
Consent gate before the credit pull.
Document reading and checks as each item arrives, with the missing-item list and its age.
Automated decision steps within policy, with routing to the approver whose authority covers the amount.
Disclosure delivery before consummation, timestamped.
E-signature on a process-controlled screen, timestamped.
Single write of the decision and documents to the loan system.

Clocks and deadlines

Notice of action (Reg B): 30 days from the completed application; the application is dated complete when the last required item is verified.
Notice of incompleteness (Reg B): Names the missing items and a reasonable deadline; the chase runs against that date.
Truth in Lending disclosures (Reg Z): Before consummation; the acknowledgment time precedes the signature time.

Documents and checks

The handoff

Between the front doorand the back office.

The front door

Online, in the app, in a branch, with a sales agent, or started by an AI agent over MCP. Consents, documents and signatures are captured on process-controlled screens, never inside a chat.

The back office

Underwriting receives a complete, verified file. The approver receives the case in the Decision Desk. The loan system receives the decision and the signed documents once.

The Decision Desk

An approval above a limit or with an exception goes to the approver whose authority covers it, in the Decision Desk, with the complete file and only the allowed outcomes: approve, approve with conditions, counteroffer, or decline with reasons.
The approver is nudged as the Reg B period runs, and the file shows how long each step has waited.

Questions

What buyers ask next,answered plainly.

Can a sales agent start the application on a call?

Yes. The agent starts it on the same screens; the applicant completes documents, consents and signatures on their own phone, and the file is one record.

How is approval authority enforced?

The routing table in the process sends each approval to the person whose authority covers the amount or the exception. An approval outside it cannot be recorded.

When are the Truth in Lending disclosures delivered?

Before consummation, on the applicant's phone, with a timestamp that precedes the signature. Electronic delivery follows the E-SIGN consent captured earlier.

What happens when a document never arrives?

The file shows the missing item and its age, the request repeats on a schedule, and the Reg B notice of incompleteness and its deadline are produced from the record.

Does Callvu replace the loan system?

No. The loan system stays the system of record. Callvu writes the decision, the signed documents and the approval history to it once.
