Borrower Quality Score™ puts the right borrowers in front of you.
Through holistic underwriting that evaluates a borrower's past repayment behaviour and future repayment intent, not just a bureau score.The gap we are solving for
We exist to make lending informed and transparent, turning idle savings into steady monthly income, while giving creditworthy borrowers fair access to credit they deserve. An ecosystem where both sides win.
A credit score reflects past repayment, current liabilities and bureau standing. But it stays silent on the things that actually predict repayment.
BQS™ goes beyond the bureau score. It combines repayment history with income consistency, cash flow analysis, FOIR, employment stability, behavioural indicators, geo-signals, and compliance checks, giving you a complete view of borrower quality, not just credit history.

For lenders
A borrower must clear every pillar before they appear on the live loan, no single number decides it.
Go beyond a single number. See the full financial picture, income quality, cash flow health, repayment headroom, before you commit capital.
Multi-dimensional scoring filters out borrowers who may look creditworthy on paper but carry hidden stress, high FOIR, declining income, or unstable employment.
Every listed borrower comes with a clear BQS™ breakdown across all 5 pillars. You see exactly what you're lending to no black boxes.
Industry context
RBI regulations require every NBFC-P2P platform to conduct credit assessment and risk profiling of borrowers before listing them. But regulations define the minimum, not the standard.
In P2P lending, the lender bears the full credit risk. Unlike bank deposits, there is no guarantee of principal or interest. This makes the quality of borrower assessment the single most important differentiator between platforms. BQS™ is our answer to this challenge. By going well beyond bureau scores, incorporating cash flow analysis, FOIR-based capacity checks, and behavioural intelligence, we aim to give lenders on 1 Finance P2P the most comprehensive borrower assessment available.

Here’s a list of a few common questions that might help. If you have any other questions, you can email or text us on WhatsApp.
No, A credit score is one input into BQS™, but BQS™ goes far beyond it. While credit primarily reflects past repayment history, BQS™ incorporates income stability, cash flow patterns, repayment capacity (FOIR), employment tenure, and compliance checks — providing a forward-looking, 360° assessment.
BQS™ evaluates every borrower across 250+ data points spanning five pillars: Identity & Compliance, Credit History, Income & Cash Flow, Repayment Capacity, and Stability & Behaviour.
It's possible, but unlikely without strong compensating factors. A borrower with a lower bureau score but excellent income consistency, low FOIR, stable employment, and clean compliance checks may still qualify — because BQS™ looks at the complete picture, not just one number.
BQS™ acts as a multi-layered filter. Only borrowers who clear all five pillar checks are listed on the platform. This significantly reduces the risk of lending to borrowers who may appear creditworthy on paper but carry hidden financial stress.
Yes, 100% of borrowers on 1 Finance P2P are evaluated through the BQS™ framework before they appear on the platform. There are no exceptions.
Most P2P platforms rely heavily on bureau scores and basic KYC for credit assessment. BQS™ is a proprietary, multi-dimensional framework that adds deep cash flow analysis, FOIR-based capacity checks, and behavioural intelligence — going well beyond industry-standard practices.
