So when a microfinance bank asks what Lendsqr costs, the honest answer is: it depends on what you need to connect.

Loan approval decisions are rarely based on a single factor. Lenders typically assess a combination of income, repayment history, existing debt, credit behavior, and the level of risk a borrower presents. Some may also consider employment stability, cash flow patterns, or alternative data depending on the product and market. Understanding how these decisions are made can help borrowers prepare stronger applications, while giving lenders a clearer framework for making fair and responsible credit choices.

Below are seven early warning indicators that consistently show up before default rates begin to climb. These are drawn from transactional patterns, borrower behaviour, and portfolio-level observations that lenders can operationalise without speculation.
