Description

A LOAN REQUEST SYSTEM Technical Field

The present invention relates to a system for creating a loan request by specifying the amount, the number of repayment months and the interest rate a person wants; transmitting the said loan request to the bank; informing the person automatically when the conditions suitable for the loan criteria specified in the bank are provided; and granting of a loan with the consent of the person.

Background of the Invention Today, persons who want to get loans from banks inquire about whether banks offer loans suitable for their loan preferences by querying all banks. Upon finding a suitable loan, persons request the related bank to grant the said loan and after examination of the customer in terms of loan availability by the bank, approval is given for granting the loan. In the current technique, persons have to choose among limited loan plans with a certain amount and a certain interest rate. This situation causes persons to give up getting loan or get an unnecessary amount of loan.

Therefore, considering the studies and the deficiencies in the state of the art, it is understood that there is need for a system which enables to inform persons by creating a loan request whereby they can determine the amount, the repayment period and the interest rate by themselves when there is a loan suitable for this request, and to get a loan suitable for their own preferences.

The United States patent document no. US8200576, an application included in the state of the art, discloses a system and method for providing personal loan. In the said invention, the method/system allows a consumer or borrower to access a lending institution over a network connection and apply for a monetary loan online. The loan application is processed in real time and the borrower is notified of the type of loan, loan amount, interest rate, etc., that he/she is qualified for. Upon acceptance of the loan terms, the borrower is provided with a personal identification number (PIN) and a unique lender transaction ID that serves as confirmation of the loan.

Summary of the Invention

An objective of the present invention is to realize a system for enabling persons to create a loan request by determining the amount, the repayment period and the interest rate they want.

Another objective of the present invention is to realize a system for informing the person who transmits the request automatically when the conditions meeting the created loan request are provided, and granting the loan with the consent of the person.
