The complete administrator guide to Bank Studio. Configure products, manage officers, monitor security, harness AI intelligence, run your lending operation from a single dashboard.
Bank Studio is the command centre for your institution on LitFin. Every setting, product, officer, and analytic lives here, giving administrators full control through a single, unified dashboard.
A real-time overview of your bank's LitFin operation. See pending applications, active officers, product performance, and system health at a glance. Drill into any metric for full detail without leaving the dashboard.
First-time administrators are guided through a step-by-step wizard: bank profile, branding, first loan product, officer accounts, and notification preferences. Every step validates configuration before moving forward so nothing is missed.
Four built-in roles, Super Admin, Product Manager, Officer Supervisor, and Analyst, each with granular permissions. Create custom roles when the defaults are not enough. Permissions cascade down the org chart so branch managers only see their territory.
Track approval rate, average processing time, portfolio growth, officer utilisation, and borrower satisfaction in a live KPI bar at the top of every Bank Studio page. Configure thresholds to highlight metrics that fall outside acceptable ranges.
Make LitFin feel like your own platform. Configure everything borrowers see, from your bank name and colours to branch locations and messaging, so the experience is consistent with your offline brand.
Set your institution's legal name, trading name, registration number, contact details, and regulatory identifiers. This data populates borrower-facing disclosures, email templates, and compliance reports automatically.
Upload your logo, select primary and accent colours, choose a font family, and position branding elements. The portal, emails, and PDF outputs all reflect your identity. Preview changes live before publishing.
Override default copy for welcome screens, application instructions, rejection reasons, and approval letters. Maintain your institution's tone of voice across every borrower touchpoint.
Add, edit, and deactivate branch locations with GPS coordinates, operating hours, and contact numbers. Applications are automatically routed to the nearest relevant branch. Borrowers see a map of your network during onboarding.
Define every detail of your loan offerings without writing a single line of code. From amount ranges to document checklists, the product builder gives you complete control over what borrowers see and submit.
Create products visually: drag field blocks for amount range, tenor, interest rate, repayment schedule, and fees into a canvas. Reorder sections, toggle required versus optional, and preview the borrower form in real time.
Define rules that automatically screen applications: minimum business age, annual revenue floor, industry whitelist or blacklist, geographic zones, and prior credit history. Ineligible borrowers see a clear explanation and alternative product suggestions.
Choose from 17 supported document categories (trade licence, financial statements, collateral valuations, etc.) per product. Mark each as required or optional, set expiry policies, and configure AI validation rules that flag incomplete uploads.
Add bank-specific questions, dropdown, text, number, date, file upload, with validation rules and help text. Save field sets as reusable templates so new products inherit your standard configuration instantly.
Visualise how each product weights the Five Cs of Credit, Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Conditions. Adjust weights per product and see how scoring shifts before publishing changes to borrowers.
Build and manage your lending team from Bank Studio. Create accounts, assign territories, set up auto-routing, and track performance, all in one place.
Invite officers by email or bulk-upload a CSV. Assign a role (Senior Officer, Junior Officer, Trainee) and fine-tune permissions: view-only, review, approve up to a limit, or full authority. Officers receive a branded onboarding email with login instructions.
Choose automatic round-robin distribution that balances workload across available officers, or switch to manual assignment for sensitive accounts. Hybrid mode lets supervisors override auto-assignments before the officer is notified.
Tag officers with branches, regions, and product competencies. The routing engine matches incoming applications to the best-qualified officer based on location, product type, and current workload.
Monitor each officer's review time, decision throughput, approval rate, and borrower satisfaction score. Leaderboards highlight top performers while alerts flag officers who fall behind SLA targets.
AI analyses every interaction on your platform, borrower conversations, feature usage, and application patterns, then surfaces actionable insights so you can optimise products and operations proactively.
Weekly and on-demand reports synthesised by AI: trending product demand, borrower drop-off points, seasonal patterns, and competitive positioning. Each insight includes a recommended action and estimated impact.
The platform analyses borrower chat conversations to detect unmet needs, questions about products you do not offer, common confusion points, and feature requests. Demand signals are ranked by frequency and revenue potential.
See which Bank Studio features your team uses most, which are underutilised, and where officers spend the most time. Heatmaps and session recordings (anonymised) reveal friction in internal workflows.
Based on usage patterns and industry benchmarks, the AI recommends specific changes: simplify a product's document checklist, adjust an eligibility threshold, or reallocate officers between branches. One-click apply for supported recommendations.
A self-diagnosing health system that continuously monitors every component of the platform, detects anomalies before they affect borrowers, and provides automated remediation guidance.
A composite 0-100 health score updated every 60 seconds, aggregating API latency, error rates, database throughput, AI service availability, and queue depths. The score is visible on every Bank Studio page header.
Drill into individual components: authentication, document processing, AI orchestration, notification delivery, and payment gateway. Each shows uptime percentage, P95 latency, and recent incidents with root-cause summaries.
When a component degrades, the system automatically runs diagnostic checks: connectivity tests, dependency health, configuration drift, and resource utilisation. Results are presented as a decision tree with fix-it suggestions.
Configure error-rate thresholds per component. When breached, Bank Studio sends alerts via email, SMS, or webhook. The alert includes error samples, affected borrower count, and a link to the diagnostic dashboard.
Historical graphs for response time, throughput, and resource consumption. Compare periods, overlay deployments, and export data for your infrastructure team. SLA compliance is tracked and reported monthly.
Build a financially literate, application-ready borrower base with LitFin's 12-domain curriculum engine. Create programmes, enroll learners, track mastery, and issue certifications, all from Bank Studio.
Pre-built content across Entrepreneurship, Sales, Finance, Marketing, Operations, HR, Compliance, Customer Service, Leadership, Risk Management, Technology, and Credit Lending. Each domain contains competency areas, skill clusters, and individual concepts with teaching notes.
Mix and match domains, competency areas, and individual concepts to build a programme tailored to your bank's needs. Set prerequisites, time limits, and passing thresholds. Clone existing programmes as starting templates.
Enroll individual borrowers or borrower groups into programmes. The mastery dashboard shows Bayesian Knowledge Tracing scores per concept, spaced-repetition schedules, and Bloom's taxonomy progression for every learner.
Define completion criteria: minimum mastery scores, assessment pass rates, and required concepts. Learners receive a verifiable digital certificate. Bank Studio tracks certification status across your borrower community.
Each domain uses a specialised teaching adapter that adjusts AI prompts, examples, and assessment styles to the subject matter. Sales content uses negotiation scenarios; Compliance content uses regulatory case studies. Adapters are configurable per programme.
Turn your platform data into compelling content. The Auto Blog Engine generates articles from learner mastery trends, market insights, and borrower success patterns, keeping your bank's content fresh without manual effort.
The engine analyses platform data, trending concepts, common borrower questions, seasonal lending patterns, and drafts blog posts with headlines, body copy, and suggested images. Articles are written in your bank's tone of voice.
Schedule blog posts as part of broader marketing campaigns. Link articles to specific loan products, assign UTM parameters, and track click-through to application starts. Coordinate email, social, and blog content from one timeline.
AI-generated drafts enter a review queue. Editors can approve, request revisions, or reject. Track version history, leave inline comments, and set auto-publish rules for trusted content categories.
Each article is automatically optimised: meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph tags, structured data, and internal linking suggestions. The SEO score is visible before publishing, with actionable recommendations to improve discoverability.
Enterprise-grade security is not optional, it is the foundation. LitFin implements a 5-layer defence architecture, automated incident response, and continuous compliance monitoring aligned to Bank of Tanzania (BOT), PDPA, and AML regulations.
Five layers of enterprise-grade security protecting your institution and customers: edge protection against attacks, application-level security hardening, military-grade data encryption at rest and in transit, real-time threat monitoring with automated response, and continuous security testing in the development pipeline.
Seven continuously evaluated rules monitor for suspicious activity: impossible travel, credential stuffing velocity, privilege escalation attempts, data exfiltration patterns, off-hours admin access, bulk download triggers, and API abuse rates. Each rule has configurable sensitivity.
When an anomaly is confirmed, the system auto-blocks the source, forces MFA re-authentication for affected accounts, sends email alerts to the security team, and creates an incident record with timeline, evidence, and remediation steps.
Continuous compliance checks against Bank of Tanzania Act, Tanzania Personal Data Protection Act, and Anti-Money Laundering regulations. Audit logs are immutable and retained for the legally required period. Compliance dashboards show pass/fail status per regulation.
A dedicated admin view at /litfin-admin/security showing threat map, active incidents, blocked IPs, MFA adoption rate, vulnerability scan results, and SOC 2 Type II readiness score. Export reports for your compliance officer or external auditors.
Data-driven lending starts here. Visualise your entire pipeline, measure officer and product performance, and let AI surface the insights that matter most, all exportable for management and regulatory reporting.
A visual funnel showing applications at every stage: started, submitted, in review, conditionally approved, fully approved, declined, and disbursed. Click any stage to see the applications within it. Identify bottlenecks by comparing stage-to-stage conversion rates.
Track approval rate, average loan size, weighted interest rate, portfolio-at-risk, and product distribution over time. Slice by branch, officer, product, or region. Compare current period to historical baselines with automatic trend annotations.
Per-officer dashboards: applications reviewed, average review time, approval/decline ratio, borrower feedback score, and SLA compliance. Aggregate views let supervisors compare team members and spot coaching opportunities.
Export data as CSV, Excel, or formatted PDF reports. Pre-built report templates for BOT quarterly submissions, board presentations, and internal management reviews. Schedule recurring exports delivered to email or SFTP.
The AI analyses your portfolio data and generates a management brief: key wins, emerging risks, recommended actions, and forecast for the next quarter. Delivered weekly or on demand, written in executive summary format.
Connect LitFin to your core banking system, third-party services, and AI providers. The integration layer supports REST APIs, webhooks, MCP tools, and cost-aware AI routing, all manageable from Bank Studio.
A documented REST API covers every Bank Studio operation: application lifecycle, product management, officer CRUD, analytics queries, and document retrieval. API keys are scoped per environment (sandbox, staging, production) with rate limits and usage dashboards.
Register HTTPS endpoints to receive real-time events: application submitted, document uploaded, status changed, officer assigned, and disbursement completed. Each event includes a signed payload for verification. Retry logic handles transient failures.
Manage your AI toolkit from a centralized admin interface. Enable, disable, and configure AI capabilities per environment. View usage analytics, performance metrics, and cost tracking per feature.
AI requests are intelligently routed through a cost-optimized cascade: from cached responses to increasingly powerful AI models based on task complexity. Bank Studio lets you set per-feature quality ceilings and monthly budget caps with real-time spend tracking.
Configure bidirectional sync between LitFin and your core banking system. Map fields, set sync frequency (real-time, hourly, daily), and define conflict resolution rules. A sync dashboard shows last run, records processed, and any errors requiring attention.
Our team walks you through every section of Bank Studio and configures your institution within days.
