Conversational Credit Score Checks via WhatsApp

Credit scores are a mystery to most people. While everyone knows they’re important, few understand how they work—or how to check them easily. Traditional methods involve logging into credit bureau websites, entering multiple OTPs, or waiting for email reports. For financial institutions, this lack of visibility often results in delayed loan applications and customer drop-offs.

But what if checking your credit score was as simple as sending a message on WhatsApp?

Swiftsell’s AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot makes credit scores accessible, understandable, and engaging. In just a few taps, customers can retrieve their credit score, decode what it means, and get suggestions on how to improve it—all within a familiar chat interface.

Let’s explore how this works, why it matters, and how your financial service brand can leverage it to drive trust, conversions, and better financial literacy.

Why Offer Credit Score Checks on WhatsApp?

1. Instant Access

Your customers no longer need to visit third-party sites or wait for email reports. With a few taps on WhatsApp, they can access their latest credit score in seconds.

2. Trusted Interface

WhatsApp is where your customers already spend their time. It’s secure, private, and familiar—making it the perfect place to handle sensitive financial data.

3. Simplified Explanations with AI

Our AI bot breaks down complex credit reports into plain language, helping users understand what affects their score and how to improve it. No more jargon, only insights.

4. Increased Lead Qualification

Knowing a lead’s credit score in real time helps your team qualify them faster for loans, credit cards, or financing offers.

5. Better Financial Literacy

By educating users on what impacts their credit score, you build trust and long-term relationships that go beyond one-time transactions.

Step-by-Step: How the WhatsApp Credit Score Bot Works

Step 1: User Initiates the Chat

Users can start the process by clicking a link from your website, an ad, or SMS that leads them to WhatsApp.

"Hi there! 👋 Want to check your credit score instantly? Let's get started."

Step 2: Consent Collection

Before proceeding, the chatbot requests permission to access credit score data, as per regulatory guidelines:

"Please confirm that you agree to share your basic personal details and authorize us to fetch your credit score from certified bureaus. Reply YES to continue."

Step 3: ID Verification

The chatbot collects the required information to retrieve the score, such as:

• Full name (as per PAN card)
• PAN number
• Date of birth
• Email ID or phone number

OCR and auto-fill features reduce typing and speed up the process.

Step 4: Real-Time Credit Bureau API Integration

The bot is integrated with bureaus like CIBIL, Experian, or Equifax through secured APIs. It fetches the credit score instantly and displays it in the chat:

"Your credit score is 752 (Good)."

Step 5: AI-Based Explanation and Recommendations

The AI engine simplifies what the score means and why it’s important:

"A score above 750 usually means you’re eligible for most loans. Great job! You can improve your score even more by reducing your credit card usage below 30%."

Step 6: Conversion Pathways

Depending on the score, the chatbot recommends relevant actions:

• Apply for a credit card
• Pre-qualify for a loan
• Improve your score with tips and resources

Use Cases for Financial Brands

2. Credit Card Campaigns

4. Financial Education Tools

Offer ongoing credit monitoring to keep users engaged and promote responsible borrowing.
