Lending Club Casestudy

  • A consumer finance company which specialises in lending various types of loans to urban customers wants to understand the driving factors (or driver variables) behind loan default. When the company receives a loan application, the company has to make a decision for loan approval based on the applicant’s profile. Two types of risks are associated with the bank’s decision: If the applicant is likely to repay the loan, then not approving the loan results in a loss of business to the company If the applicant is not likely to repay the loan, i.e. he/she is likely to default, then approving the loan may lead to a financial loss for the company

General Information

In this project we are determining if a loan will be defaulted or not. We are trying to find the factors leading to loan default. In this case study, we will use EDA to understand how consumer attributes and loan attributes influence the tendency of default. There can be 2 possible Scenarios here.

  • If the applicant is likely to repay the loan, then not approving the loan results in a loss of business to the company
  • If the applicant is not likely to repay the loan, i.e. he/she is likely to default, then approving the loan may lead to a financial loss for the company

Here we are analysing the factors that can lead the applicant to not likely pay the loan and vice versa.

The datset contains the complete loan data for all loans issued through the time period 2007 t0 2011.
