He further added, “Polaris recently won the ‘Best Lending Platform Project’ award at the 7th Asian Banker Awards for its implementation at ADCB, enabling the bank to enhance product offerings and simplify operations of the lending portfolio. This win along with Intellect lending platform’s successful implementation in multiple locations across the world, including a number of banks in the Middle East, proves our efficient next-generation technology.”

Intellect LMS facilitates all activities from the creation of a loan to disbursal, maintenance, repayment schedule tracking, accounting, prepayment processing, delinquency and charge off processing.
