How one duplicate loan changed a bank’s entire risk strategy

We’ve all heard the saying: Prevention is better than cure – it’s timeless advice. But in lending, the challenge isn’t just knowing that you should prevent errors, it’s understanding what to prevent, and when.

One of our client lenders shared a powerful story that highlights this.

A loan was disbursed for a property. Everything appeared correct on paper and the right processes were followed. Documentation was complete, but sometime later, the same flat was disbursed again—this time by a different branch of the same bank.

Yes, the same unit received a second loan.

When the teams investigated, it wasn’t the result of negligence or a broken process. It was something far simpler, and far more common. The two branches had no visibility into each other’s valuation activity. Each operated in isolation, unaware of what had already been done.

By the time the mistake was identified, the reversal process had already become expensive and complex. The bank’s credibility took a hit, and customer experience suffered.

That’s when Valocity stepped in.

Today, that same lender uses Valocity’s platform for complete visibility across all branches. Every inspection, valuation, or report, whether it happened yesterday or six months ago, is now accessible in one connected system. The result? Duplicate disbursements are prevented. Risk is significantly reduced. Most importantly, trust is restored.

This story is a powerful reminder. The best systems don’t just comply with processes. They enable intelligent connection. Because prevention only works when it’s powered by visibility and insight.
