Problem Statements

This hackathon features three innovative problem statements focusing on advancing the banking and finance sector. Participants are tasked with creating a Personal Financial Wellness Platform that offers personalized insights, budgeting tools, and actionable recommendations to boost financial health and customer engagement. The Smart Fraud Detection System should leverage machine learning to detect and block fraudulent transactions in real-time, reducing false positives and enhancing transaction security. Lastly, the Digital Lending for Underbanked Populations solution should use alternative data sources, like mobile usage and utility payments, to assess creditworthiness, improving financial inclusion while maintaining low default rates. These challenges aim to foster solutions that enhance user experience, security, and accessibility in financial services.

Digital Lending for Underbanked Populations

Design a digital lending solution that evaluates creditworthiness for underbanked and unbanked populations using alternative data sources like mobile usage, social behavior, and utility payments.

This solution should aim to expand access to financial services by providing a platform that evaluates the creditworthiness of individuals who may not have traditional credit histories. By leveraging alternative data sources such as mobile phone usage patterns, social interactions, and utility bill payments, the system can assess an individual's credit risk more inclusively. The expected outcome is a prototype or proof-of-concept that promotes financial inclusion and responsible lending, maintaining low default rates while fostering economic growth for underserved communities.

Personal Financial Wellness Platform

Develop an AI-driven platform that provides users with personalized insights into their financial health, including spending analysis, budgeting tools, and goal-setting features, with actionable recommendations based on user behavior.

The goal is to create a platform that empowers customers to understand and manage their finances better. It should integrate spending analysis tools to track transactions, goal-setting functionalities to set and monitor financial targets, and budgeting tools that adapt based on user behavior. The platform should offer tailored insights and recommendations that help users make informed financial decisions. The expected outcome is a prototype that enhances customer engagement for banks by helping users achieve financial stability and growth.

Smart Fraud Detection System

Build an intelligent fraud detection system that uses machine learning to identify and block fraudulent transactions in real-time, minimizing false positives and enhancing security.

This solution should utilize machine learning algorithms to analyze multiple factors such as transaction location, amount, frequency, and user behavior to detect potential fraudulent activity. The system should be designed to provide real-time alerts and prevent suspicious transactions while ensuring that legitimate transactions are not disrupted. The objective is to create a functional model that enhances security measures for banks, reduces false positives, and protects user trust without compromising transaction speed.
