Abstract
A method and apparatus for closed loop, automatic pro-cessing a loan, including completion of the application under-writing, and transferring funds, includes use of a programmed computer (34) to interface with an applicant, obtain the informa-tion needed to process the loan, determine whether to approve the loan, and effect electronic fund transfers to the applicant's deposit account and arrange for automatic withdrawals to repay the loan. Information is received from the applicant preferably by using voice recognition technology (30) but alternatively by entering the alpha-numeric information using a personal com-puter (34) keyboard or using buttons on a telephone (12). The loan approval determination is made using a neural network (17) with input obtained in part from the applicant and in part from databases (14) accessed by the computer (34), such as a credit bureau (16), to obtain a credit report. The loan agreement is transmitted by facsimile to and from the applicant when the ap-plicant has access to a facsimile machine (18) of data field to be printed (37) or to an agent (22) who delivers the agreement to the applicant when the applicant does not have access. In a preferred embodiment, the applicant accesses the computer (34) from a kiosk (40) where the complete transaction can take place as the applicant waits.

METHOD AND APPARATUS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

METHOD AND APPARATUS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to closed loop financial 10 transactions. More specifically, the present invention is a method and apparatus for processing loans automatically, beginnin~ with the loan application and continlling through to transfer of funds to the borrower and to arranging for repayment.
2. Discussion of Background Borrowed money is essential to facilitate commerce and personal finance. Individuals and businesses borrow money on both a short term and a long term basis for better m~n~gement of their day-to-day financial transactions and to obtain the goods and services they need when they need them. If the need to borrow money is anticipated, the arrangements for borrowing can be made in advance of the need. But financial needs are sometimes not foreseen, and the extent of a financial need is not always known or knowable in advance. Furthermore, these arrangements are usually somewhat of a necessary inconvenience because they take time and effort to complete.
When an individual needs to borrow money, the lender will not only expect repayment but will also want to have confidence that the amount lent can be repaid on time. The effort by the borrower to provide the lender with this confidence level will depend on the amount lent. For example, a loan of less than one hundred dollars might be made simply on the basis of knowing that the individual to whom the money is lent has a job. For lending millions of dollars, the lender may want to take a S security interest in assets that have a value in excess of the amount lent to cover fluctuations in the values of those assets during the time the loan is being repaid.
Not only will the borrower have an obligation to convince the lender that the borrower is creditworthy, the lender also has obligations to 10 the borrower. For example, in consumer loans, laws re(luire the lender to carefully explain certain aspects of the terms of the loan.
When time and foresight permit advance arrangement of loans, the act of borrowing can be made much simpler. When time is short and the need for the loan was not anticipated, the act of going through the process 15 of borrowing may be so time-consuming that obt~ining the loan may not be possible at all.
Typically, a business and an individual will either borrow relatively small amounts using credit cards, with pre-approved credit limits, or go to a lending institution for larger sums, where the process of completing 20 documentation for borrowing money takes longer and is subject to conditions that must be fulfilled before the loan can be made. Naturally, for large loans, the safeguards for the lender take time. But for smaller loans, those above credit-card limits but still below a level where there might be a significant concern of the ability of the lender to repay the 25 loan, there exists a need for greater convenience.
WO 95/0629~ ~ ~ 7 ~ 3 ~ 7 PCT/US94/09716 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
.
According to its major aspects and briefly stated, the present invention is a method and apparatus for closed loop processing of a loan 5 application, including completion of the application, underwriting, and transferring of funds. The term "closed loop" means that all the steps involved in loan processing, including the steps of transferring the funds to the borrower and arranging for repayment as well as completing the loan application and underwriting it, can be done without human 10 intervention. The apparatus uses a computer capability and a commllnications link, plus other electronic commllnications equipment, to enable the complete, automated processing of the application, namely, (1 ) the exchange of information with the applicant preferably using human voice recognition equipment, (2) the underwriting, m~ning the 15 evaluation and approval, of the loan, plus (3) initiating electronic transferof funds from a source of funds to the deposit account designated by the applicant and (4) automatic withdrawals from the applicant's account to repay the loan.
The loan is initiated by an applicant via a variety of commllnication 20 and electronic routes to make contact with the computer, which responds to the applicant and obtains information using voice commllnication processing. Information about the applicant is also obtained via electronic transfer of data to the computer from one or more databases, including those that provide name and address based on a caller's 25 telephone number, and from credit bureaus that provide credit reports on an applicant given a name, a social security number and an address. In a preferred embodiment, the coln~ el capability of the present invention WO 95/06294 ~ 1 7 0 3 ~ ~ PCT/US9~/09716 also contains a "neural network" that is used to score the application, that is, to make a determination of whether to approve the loan based on a computer analysis of factors deemed important in assessing the would-be borrower's ability and willin~ness to repay the loan and to score the loan S and assess the risk of it not being paid.
Finally, the loan agreement and related documentation are sent to the borrower by the fastest and most convenient means, including facsimile, direct transmission of electronic datafile to the borrower's personal computer via modem, overnight mail delivery service, and so 10 on. The processing of the loan is done completely and automatically, with human intervention occurring only when the borrower is using a rotary dial telephone, makes too many entry mistakes, wants operator assistance, or the system suspects fraud.
The computer capability of the present invention includes voice 15 commllnication processing, control processing including analysis and accessing information. These capabilities may be in separate computers or in a single, dedicated computer, perhaps with all capabilities built into a single microchip.
The user may access the system simply by telephone or in one or 20 more o~er ways. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the user-interface is a kiosk housing a co~ ication facility with a monitor and keypad (and perhaps a telephone), a facsimile machine for transmitting documentation from a remote or internal computer to the applicant once the transaction is complete, a bank card reader to identify an applicant, 2~ the applicant's bank and associated checking account routing information, and means for electronically transferring the signature of the borrower onto the loan agreement. The kiosk may be established at a convenient WO 95/06294 PCTtUS94/09716 Z~7~377 s location, such as an airport terminal, a bank, a shopping area or a store selling goods that might carry a price higher than a typical credit card limit, such as a jewelry store or co~ ulel sales store, for example.
In an alternate embodiment of user interface, the loan process can S be initiated with by agent, such as an insurance agent or financial planner.
An agent may have a personal, "lap top" computer with a modem and facsimile machine for use in assisting the borrower in applying for a loan.
An advantage of these channels for accessing the loan system of the present invention is the fact that insurance agents and financial planners 10 are accustomed to handling important financial documentation.
An important feature of the present invention is the extent to which the loan is processed by com~utel. Computers are used to assist in processing loans routinely, but the extent of use here significantly exceeds that known in the art. Here, the processing by computer includes 15 underwriting the loan application and deciding to make or deny the loan (or delay loan approval until more information is provided). The use of the computer to access certain information not within its own memory also elimin~tes the need for human-based processing. Avoiding human intervention not only saves processing time and reduces errors, but also 20 elimin~tes bias in the decision to approve or deny the loan.
The use of a kiosk to make available to borrowers the co"~ l"ications capability for applying for a loan is another important feature of the present invention. Kiosks, placed in convenient locations, will contain electronic equipment that facilitates and speeds all of the 25 steps in obt~ining a loan. Importantly, because funds are deposited directly into the borrower's bank account rather than dispersed directly to 3 7 ~ ~
When an individual needs to borrow money, the lender will not only expect repayment but will also want to have confidence that the amount lent can be repaid on time.

Neural networks in the preferred embodiment of the present invention make the lending decision, but in an alternative embodiment, are used to adjust periodically a more 10 traditional scoring system.
Still another feature is the combination of automatic processing of a loan with direct deposit of funds and automatic withdrawal for repayment. These features enable the loan to be made on the same day in most cases, but at least by the next business day, and to give the lender 15 some measure of control over repayment by facilitating automatic withdrawal thereby elimin~ting both delays in m~iling payment checks and forgetfulness on the part of the borrower in m~king timely payments to the lender.
Other features and advantages will be apparent to those skilled in 20 the art of automatic financial transactions from a careful re~lling of the Detailed Description of Pre~el,ed Embodiments accompanied by the Drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention is a method and apparatus for making loans automatically, that is, a closed loop loan. By the term "automatically," it is meant that the application is received and processed, the decision made to grant or deny the loan, and the deposit of the loaned amount to the borrower's account is made entirely by computers in conjunction with voice and electronic commllnication equipment.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagrarn according to a ~lerelled embodiment of the present invention. Everything to the left of line A of Fig. 1 represents the equipment used by the loan applicant; everything above line B relates to the present invention; everything below line B is used with the present invention but is not part of the inventive combination. An important feature of the present invention is its flexibility in enabling the borrower to gain access to a system controller/processor 10 via a voice co"~ ll"ication processor 30, and in a W O 9~/06294 ~ 3 7 7 PCTrUS94/09716 number of other different ways, in order to apply for the loan. Several of these ways will be described below, but for the present purposes, it will be assumed that the borrower is accessing commllnication processor 30 using a telephone 12 rather than using any more elaborate, electronic S colllmullications hardware over a co"~ ications link. A
commllnications link is at least one telephone line, perhaps one or more dedicated line, in the kiosk embodiment to be described presently. Voice commllnication processor 30 is the interface between telephone 12 and controller/processor 10, enabling the controller /processor 10 to "talk" to 10 the borrower over telephone 12, and in a ~lere,led embodiment to be described presently, for the borrower to input responses to controller/processor 10 by speaking to communication processor 30.
It will also be assumed that ~e borrower is accessing commllnication processor 30 without assistance from either an employee 15 of the lender or its agent, but these alternative embodiments will also be described below.
In its simplest embodiment and briefly stated, the process begins when the borrower calls comml-nication processor 30 using telephone 12.
Controller 10 obtains information in part from the c.~lling borrower, via 20 co,~ l,ications processor 30, and in part from a database 14 using the borrower's telephone number for identification. Controller 10 determines caller's name and address from database 14 based on the telephone number of the caller. Other than confirmation that the caller wants to apply for a loan, the amount desired, and the term, controller 10 initially 25 needs only the loan applicant's name, address and social security number for identification. This information is used to obtain a credit report from a credit bureau 16.
WO 95/06294 ~ 17 ~ ~ 7 ~ PCT/US94/09716 The borrower's credit report is obtained from credit bureau 16 by controller 10, evaluated by a neural network 17, to be described morefully below, and a decision is made by neural network 17 in the form of a score and an associated risk factor to grant or deny the loan.
5 Co~ lication processor 30 informs the borrower of the decision and, if the loan is granted, arranges to get documentation that contains the terms of the loan to the borrower for signing.
The documentation can be sent both to and from the applicant completely or partway by facsimile 18 to reduce the transaction time. An 10 agreement received by the applicant by facsimile 18 can be signed and returned by facsimile 18. Facsimile capability is not required, however.
For example, if the caller has a personal computer 34, a modem 36 and a printer 37, then an electronic file of the docllm~.nt~ can be transmitted to the caller, printed out on the caller's printer 37, signed and mailed back, 15 or sent by facsimile if available. Alternatively, the loan agreement documents can be sent by facsimile to a nearby delivery agent 22 that can deliver them to the caller who can sign them, and then delivery agent 22 can send them back by facsimile. In this example, the execution of these documents can easily be effected the same day. Delivery agent 22 can be 20 the U.S. Postal Service, a private delivery service, or an agent providing this service to the lending institution, such as an insurance agent or financial planner.
The executed documentation can also be received by controller/processor 10 in several ways, such as by an electronic file sent 25 via modem 32, as a facsimile transmission that can be received directly into controller/processor 10, or as paper documents, sent by overnight mail, to be scanned into controller 10 with a scanner 24. If the documents W095/06294 ,~; ~ 7Q~ 7 ~ - PCT/US94/09716 are complete and signed, controller 10 arranges for electronic transfer of funds from a lending institution 26 directly to the borrower's account in a deposit institution 28 and, via co~ ications processor 30, contacts the borrower to confirm the time and date of the transfer. The caller will repay the loan in installments automatically withdrawn from the deposit account by lending institution 26 or other institutions to which the loan rnight be assigned.
In the foregoing embodiment, comml-nication processor 30 requires the following information ~rom the caller: verification that the caller is calling about a loan, the loan amount, the term of the loan, verification of the caller's name and address and home/business telephone number, and the caller's social security number. This inforrnation is forwarded to controller 10 which then obt~ins other information from data base 14, including name and address corresponding to the telephone 15 number of the caller. Finally, with the caller's name, address and social security number, controller 10 can obtain a credit report from credit bureau 16.
Commllnications processor 30 receives inforrnation from the caller over the cornmunications link by instructing the caller to push buttons on 20 telephone 12. Alternatively and preferably, processor 30 has a voice recognition processing capability for receiving and inle~reting words spoken by the caller to the extent needed to process the loan.
Collllnul,ications processor 30 is progla,~ ed to speak with a synthesized or pre-recorded voice.
Comm~lnications processor 30 will obtain the telephone number of the caller using automatic number identification technology from the local telephone company or by asking the caller to input the number using wo 95/06294 2 1 ~ 0 3 7 7 ~ ` PCT/US94/09716 the buttons on a "touch tone" telephone. The caller's telephone number is forwarded to controller 10. Controller 10 then uses this information to access database 14 for additional information regarding the caller. Data base 14 is one of several, currently available, commercial data bases to S determine the address and name of a caller. These data bases are offered by Polk, R. R. Donnelley & Sons, MetroNet, and Telident, and can be accessed for use on a subscriber's system. Alternatively, and preferably, voice recognition using a voice coll",lll"ication processor 30 can be used to obtain the alphabet-based information, namely, address and name of the caller, directly from the caller and numerical information when the caller presses the touch tone telephone buttons in response to requests for the numerical information.
After confirming the caller's name and address from data base 14, and including perhaps a simple inquiry for verification of the name, number and address plus a request for the caller's zip code, communications processor 30 asks the caller/borrower for his social security number. While the credit report is being obtained from credit bureau 16 via controller 10, the amount of the loan and the ~le~lled repayment schedule can be obtained by exchange of information with the caller and commllnications processor 30. With telephone 12, the caller can indicate yes or no to various questions by pressing the telephone buttons indicated for response by processor 30, or, if processor 30 has voice recognition capability, by simply saying yes or no over telephone 12.
When controller 10 has received the credit report, it sends the report via co---"-ll-lications link to neural network 17 to begin the evaluation of the loan request. A neural network is the name generally WO95/0629~ ~ ~ 7~ 7 PCT/US94/09716 given to a system designed to evaluate several, potentially-competing factors to arrive at a decision in the form of a score. The evaluation proceeds by iterating among a set of criteria that are weighted. In the present application, one criterion that may be used in deciding to grant S the loan is that the applicant have a full time job; this criterion may in fact have the greatest weight. However, if the borrower owns a home and has several bank accounts, criteria directed toward these assets might outweigh the lack of a job.
Analyzing the loan application involves determinin,~ a score on 10 which granting or denying the loan will be based. A typical scoring system simply assigns points to various factors that may be considered in the loan determination. Preferably, however, a neural network is used for m~king the loan determination or at least for updating on a periodic basis the point applied by a more traditional scoring system.
Neural network 17 is established by first identifying criteria that might have a bearing on the ability and willingness of the borrower to repay the loan. Then historical data are gathered to determine the influence, or weight, to be given to each criterion. The data are examined and the initial set of weighting factors are applied to develop estimates of 20 the actual outcome of the data. The network's estim~t~s are compared to the actual outcome and the weights are adjusted to make the estim~tes closer until the outcome predictions have been optimi7.e~1. Neural network 17 uses information calculated from the credit report, such as the ratio of debt to liquidity. A neural network designer will also make a 25 j~ gment on how few criteria are needed to make a sufficiently accurate prediction. There are commercially available computer programs, known to those skilled in the art of computer decision-making, that can be used ~ WO 95106294 21 7 ~ 3 7 7 PCT/US94/09716 to develop neural networks for the lending model by simply entering the '` criteria and initial weighting factors.
If the analysis of neural network 17 determines that the loan should be made, additional information is confirmed by comm~lnications 5 processor 30 from data obtained from database 14 or credit bureau 16 or is obtained from the caller using commllnications processor 30, namely, the caller's deposit account number, the caller's facsimile number, the caller's acceptance of automatic withdrawal. Then, the terms and conditions of the loan must be established in writing and the borrower's 10 signature obtained. Obt~ining the signature of the borrower can be accomplished in several ways. If the borrower is being assisted in m~king the application for a loan by an insurance agent or financial planner with a personal computer and modem, or if the borrower is m~king the loan application from a kiosk, as will be described below, the 15 signature can be obtained using an inkless "electronic pen" that, when the borrower makes a signature while holding the pen, recreates an image of the signature of the borrower on the signature line of the image of the documents displayed on the personal computer monitor. If the agent or planner has a printer 37, a copy of the executed documents can be printed 20 out for the borrower and the electronic data file of the documents and signature transmitted back to controller/processor 10. In the case where a borrower has initiated the borrowing transaction from a kiosk, the signed docllm~nt~tion is printed out using a facsimile or a laser printer.
If the borrower is making the loan application by telephone, a copy 25 of the documents can be sent to a nearby location by facsimile and delivered to the borrower by a delivery agent 22. Controller/processor 10 WO 95/0629.1 . PCT/US94/09716 2~. 7~7~
can also print out the loan agreement using printer 20 and mail it by overnight mail service to borrower.
The executed agreement, if received in paper form from the borrower, is scanned into controller by scanner 24 for e7~min~tion of the 5 signature block. If the agreement has been properly executed, the controller will issue an electronic instruction to a source of funds such as lending institution 26 to transfer electronically the loan amount to the borrower's bank account at deposit institution 28. Before the deposit is made, however, there are several checks made to prevent fraud, including 10 verification of signature as well as comparison of information obtained from the borrower with that available from a credit report, such as date of birth and the number of years with a present employer. Part of the terms of the lending agreement include perrnission from the borrower for the lender to make an automatic, periodic withdrawal from the borrower's 15 bank account for repaying the loan. The automatic direct deposit by electronic fund transfer to and the automatic withdrawal of payment from the borrower's deposit account are especially important features of the present invention because they elimin~te portions of the process from human control and delays. Also, if the borrower has an immediate need 20 for the loan, direct deposit will make these funds available as quickly as possible, avoiding delays resulting from m~iling, lost checks, the time taken for a check to clear, and the need to go to the deposit institution to make the deposit. Any documentation requiring the borrower's signature, including consumer lending disclosure information, will be handled as 25 discussed previously.
No human needs to intercede in most cases. Comml-nication processor 30 co~ icates with the borrower and controller 10 extracts WO 95/06294 21 ~ 0 3 7 ~ PCTIUS94/09716 information from data base 14 and credit bureau 16; neural network 17 makes the decision to lend and controller 10 arranges for the lending agreement to be signed. Controller 10 effects the electronic fund transfer and arranges for automatic withdrawal of monthly payments. If the caller S requires help while col,l",-l"icating with commllnications processor 30, pressing # or 0 will result in automated messages or an attendant, respectively, to assist the caller. Pressing * will repeat the previous sequence for the caller. If the caller seems confused, colllll-llllications processor 30 will interrupt the processes and provide attendant assistance or a telephone number for attendant assistance.
In an alternate embodiment, borrowers can apply for a loan using a personal computer 34 and a modem 36 by contacting controller 10 via telephone 12 through a comm~lnications link. Controller 10 will interact using the monitor of computer 34 to prompt the borrower who can type in the information needed and indicate responses to controller 10 for the latter to obtain the credit report and process the loan. The document can be received via modem 36 into coln~ulel 34, printed using printer 37.
The documentation can be returned to controller 10 by facsimile 18 when the borrower is so equipped.
As an example of the prompting that can be done, comm~lnications processor 30 can ask: "Are you currently employed? Press 1, if yes; 2, if no.", "How much is your monthly income?", or "How much do you spend per month?" This information, provided by way of example, would be available from a credit report but can be confirmed by prompting a response. Alternatively, if the information is asked and the responses, based on a partial analysis, indicate that the loan cannot be WO 95/06294 PCTIUS94/09716 ~
2:~037~
made, the borrower can be so informed and the time, need and cost of obtaining a credit report can be avoided.
The answers to the ~ro,npts can be input by the borrower by pressing buttons on a telephone, keying entries in a personal computer by S an insurance agent or financial planner or by the borrower's own personal computer or using the special keypad in a kiosk.
In a related alternative embodiment, an agent of the lender can assist the borrower in applying and can provide the electronic commllnications equipment. For example, insurance agents and financial planners can assist borrowers in processing loans. Most borrowers are located near an insurance agent's office and such agents frequently visit private homes as a part of their insurance work.
Not every loan decision will be clear. In the event the analysis by neural network 17 is inconclusive, the borrower will be called back by commllnications processor 30 and asked for an additional business day to qualify the loan application and, if the request if granted, the time for the return call will be arranged.
If the loan can be granted, co~ ications processor 30 (or controller 10 if the borrower is using a personal computer) will confirm the amount that can be loaned, the monthly payment and the term of the loan. The disclosures required under applicable consumer lending laws and other documentation can be signed in ink or, in a kiosk, using an electronic pen and then returned by facsimile, by electronic data file transmission, or by overnight mail.
The controller/processor 10 via the col~ ll,ication processor 30 will review with the borrower the information relevant to the loan, such as the account number to which the direct deposit will be made and ~e ~ W095/06294 21 7 ~ ~ 7 7; PCT/US94109716 ; ~ 7;;, name of the deposit institution, the account number and name of the automatic withdrawal institution, the date of the month and the first month the automatic withdrawal will begin, the address and payee if the check is not intended for deposit into an account, late charges that could 5 apply, the finance charge, the annual percentage rate, the total cost of all the payments, and the total amount financed. This information needed from the borrower regarding his or her accounts can be obtained by communications processor 30 as neural network is m~king the determination to make the loan, or the borrower can indicate a telephone 10 number where he or she can be reached for a call back after the loan is approved so any additional information can be obtained then.
If the loan is to be secured by collateral, the collateral needs to be identified and its value determined. If the item being purchased can serve as collateral, that fact can be confirmed via commllnications processor 30 15 as well as the identity of the goods and their whereabouts and location of title or a bill of sale.
The preferred embodiment for enabling a borrower to make a loan application is in the form of a kiosk. Figs. 2 and 3 depict a kiosk 40 for use by an applicant in initiating a loan. A kiosk is basically a housing 20 that can contain all of the equipment for a borrower to use in contacting and commlmicating with a remote, centrally located processor 10, or, alternatively, it contains processor 10. Kiosk 40 has a computer 42 with a monitor 44, a keyboard 46, a m~gnetic bank card reader 48 that enables a bank card to be read to identify an applicant as well as the applicant's 25 bank and corresponding checking account, an internal facsimile with col~",-ll"ications link (not shown in Figs. 2 and 3) and, in a plef~;lled embodiment, means for transferring a signature to a document such as ~7~377 ~
electronic signature block 50 and electronic pen 52. Block 50 is a surface dlat converts the motion of electronic pen 52 as borrower holds it and goes through the motions of making a signature to an electronic image of a signature and transfers it electronically to computer 42. The image of 5 the signature can also be used by the lending institution to verify the borrower's sign~ re before the direct deposit is made.
An applicant will enter kiosk 40 and indicate using keyboard 46 his interest in a loan. He will be prompted by compuler 42 via monitor 44 to run a bank card through bank card reader 48 to identify himself or 10 alternatively may simply enter his name, address and social security number. Computer 42 will forward information to controller l O via a co~ lullications link which will access one or more databases, such as credit bureau 1~ to obtain a credit report. As before, the information obtained from the applicant and from the credit report will be scored.
15 Preferably using neural network 17, to determine whether or not to approve the loan. If approved, the applicant will be so informed and the loan information provided. The signature of the applicant can be obtained using block 50 and pen 52, and a signed copy of the agreement printed out for the applicant by a facsimile 54. Meanwhile, the time of 20 the effectiveness of the electronic transfer of funds will have been arranged and commllnicated to applicant as well as obt~ining of his permission to have his deposit account automatically debited to repay the loan.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many 25 modifications and substitutions may be made to the foregoing preferred embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention which is defined by the following claims.
Another feature of the present invention related to the processing of the loan is the use of neural networks by a computer to make the decision 5 that the borrower is likely repay the loan. Neural networks mimic the decision-making process of a human and, given the increase in loan processing productivity, are cost-effective. Neural networks in the preferred embodiment of the present invention make the lending decision, but in an alternative embodiment, are used to adjust periodically a more 10 traditional scoring system.
Still another feature is the combination of automatic processing of a loan with direct deposit of funds and automatic withdrawal for repayment. These features enable the loan to be made on the same day in most cases, but at least by the next business day, and to give the lender 15 some measure of control over repayment by facilitating automatic withdrawal thereby elimin~ting both delays in m~iling payment checks and forgetfulness on the part of the borrower in m~king timely payments to the lender.
Other features and advantages will be apparent to those skilled in 20 the art of automatic financial transactions from a careful re~lling of the Detailed Description of Pre~el,ed Embodiments accompanied by the Drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention is a method and apparatus for making loans automatically, that is, a closed loop loan. By the term "automatically," it is meant that the application is received and processed, the decision made to grant or deny the loan, and the deposit of the loaned amount to the borrower's account is made entirely by computers in conjunction with voice and electronic commllnication equipment.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagrarn according to a ~lerelled embodiment of the present invention. Everything to the left of line A of Fig. 1 represents the equipment used by the loan applicant; everything above line B relates to the present invention; everything below line B is used with the present invention but is not part of the inventive combination. An important feature of the present invention is its flexibility in enabling the borrower to gain access to a system controller/processor 10 via a voice co"~ ll"ication processor 30, and in a W O 9~/06294 ~ 3 7 7 PCTrUS94/09716 number of other different ways, in order to apply for the loan. Several of these ways will be described below, but for the present purposes, it will be assumed that the borrower is accessing commllnication processor 30 using a telephone 12 rather than using any more elaborate, electronic S colllmullications hardware over a co"~ ications link. A
commllnications link is at least one telephone line, perhaps one or more dedicated line, in the kiosk embodiment to be described presently. Voice commllnication processor 30 is the interface between telephone 12 and controller/processor 10, enabling the controller /processor 10 to "talk" to 10 the borrower over telephone 12, and in a ~lere,led embodiment to be described presently, for the borrower to input responses to controller/processor 10 by speaking to communication processor 30.
It will also be assumed that ~e borrower is accessing commllnication processor 30 without assistance from either an employee 15 of the lender or its agent, but these alternative embodiments will also be described below.
In its simplest embodiment and briefly stated, the process begins when the borrower calls comml-nication processor 30 using telephone 12.
Controller 10 obtains information in part from the c.~lling borrower, via 20 co,~ l,ications processor 30, and in part from a database 14 using the borrower's telephone number for identification. Controller 10 determines caller's name and address from database 14 based on the telephone number of the caller. Other than confirmation that the caller wants to apply for a loan, the amount desired, and the term, controller 10 initially 25 needs only the loan applicant's name, address and social security number for identification. This information is used to obtain a credit report from a credit bureau 16.
WO 95/06294 ~ 17 ~ ~ 7 ~ PCT/US94/09716 The borrower's credit report is obtained from credit bureau 16 by controller 10, evaluated by a neural network 17, to be described morefully below, and a decision is made by neural network 17 in the form of a score and an associated risk factor to grant or deny the loan.
5 Co~ lication processor 30 informs the borrower of the decision and, if the loan is granted, arranges to get documentation that contains the terms of the loan to the borrower for signing.
The documentation can be sent both to and from the applicant completely or partway by facsimile 18 to reduce the transaction time. An 10 agreement received by the applicant by facsimile 18 can be signed and returned by facsimile 18. Facsimile capability is not required, however.
For example, if the caller has a personal computer 34, a modem 36 and a printer 37, then an electronic file of the docllm~.nt~ can be transmitted to the caller, printed out on the caller's printer 37, signed and mailed back, 15 or sent by facsimile if available. Alternatively, the loan agreement documents can be sent by facsimile to a nearby delivery agent 22 that can deliver them to the caller who can sign them, and then delivery agent 22 can send them back by facsimile. In this example, the execution of these documents can easily be effected the same day. Delivery agent 22 can be 20 the U.S. Postal Service, a private delivery service, or an agent providing this service to the lending institution, such as an insurance agent or financial planner.
The executed documentation can also be received by controller/processor 10 in several ways, such as by an electronic file sent 25 via modem 32, as a facsimile transmission that can be received directly into controller/processor 10, or as paper documents, sent by overnight mail, to be scanned into controller 10 with a scanner 24. If the documents W095/06294 ,~; ~ 7Q~ 7 ~ - PCT/US94/09716 are complete and signed, controller 10 arranges for electronic transfer of funds from a lending institution 26 directly to the borrower's account in a deposit institution 28 and, via co~ ications processor 30, contacts the borrower to confirm the time and date of the transfer. The caller will repay the loan in installments automatically withdrawn from the deposit account by lending institution 26 or other institutions to which the loan rnight be assigned.
In the foregoing embodiment, comml-nication processor 30 requires the following information ~rom the caller: verification that the caller is calling about a loan, the loan amount, the term of the loan, verification of the caller's name and address and home/business telephone number, and the caller's social security number. This inforrnation is forwarded to controller 10 which then obt~ins other information from data base 14, including name and address corresponding to the telephone 15 number of the caller. Finally, with the caller's name, address and social security number, controller 10 can obtain a credit report from credit bureau 16.
Commllnications processor 30 receives inforrnation from the caller over the cornmunications link by instructing the caller to push buttons on 20 telephone 12. Alternatively and preferably, processor 30 has a voice recognition processing capability for receiving and inle~reting words spoken by the caller to the extent needed to process the loan.
Collllnul,ications processor 30 is progla,~ ed to speak with a synthesized or pre-recorded voice.
Comm~lnications processor 30 will obtain the telephone number of the caller using automatic number identification technology from the local telephone company or by asking the caller to input the number using wo 95/06294 2 1 ~ 0 3 7 7 ~ ` PCT/US94/09716 the buttons on a "touch tone" telephone. The caller's telephone number is forwarded to controller 10. Controller 10 then uses this information to access database 14 for additional information regarding the caller. Data base 14 is one of several, currently available, commercial data bases to S determine the address and name of a caller. These data bases are offered by Polk, R. R. Donnelley & Sons, MetroNet, and Telident, and can be accessed for use on a subscriber's system. Alternatively, and preferably, voice recognition using a voice coll",lll"ication processor 30 can be used to obtain the alphabet-based information, namely, address and name of the caller, directly from the caller and numerical information when the caller presses the touch tone telephone buttons in response to requests for the numerical information.
After confirming the caller's name and address from data base 14, and including perhaps a simple inquiry for verification of the name, number and address plus a request for the caller's zip code, communications processor 30 asks the caller/borrower for his social security number. While the credit report is being obtained from credit bureau 16 via controller 10, the amount of the loan and the ~le~lled repayment schedule can be obtained by exchange of information with the caller and commllnications processor 30. With telephone 12, the caller can indicate yes or no to various questions by pressing the telephone buttons indicated for response by processor 30, or, if processor 30 has voice recognition capability, by simply saying yes or no over telephone 12.
When controller 10 has received the credit report, it sends the report via co---"-ll-lications link to neural network 17 to begin the evaluation of the loan request. A neural network is the name generally WO95/0629~ ~ ~ 7~ 7 PCT/US94/09716 given to a system designed to evaluate several, potentially-competing factors to arrive at a decision in the form of a score. The evaluation proceeds by iterating among a set of criteria that are weighted. In the present application, one criterion that may be used in deciding to grant S the loan is that the applicant have a full time job; this criterion may in fact have the greatest weight. However, if the borrower owns a home and has several bank accounts, criteria directed toward these assets might outweigh the lack of a job.
Analyzing the loan application involves determinin,~ a score on 10 which granting or denying the loan will be based. A typical scoring system simply assigns points to various factors that may be considered in the loan determination. Preferably, however, a neural network is used for m~king the loan determination or at least for updating on a periodic basis the point applied by a more traditional scoring system.

The network's estim~t~s are compared to the actual outcome and the weights are adjusted to make the estim~tes closer until the outcome predictions have been optimi7.e~1. Neural network 17 uses information calculated from the credit report, such as the ratio of debt to liquidity. A neural network designer will also make a 25 j~ gment on how few criteria are needed to make a sufficiently accurate prediction.
