What this agent does

The Reactivation Agent AI identifies lapsed borrowers — those who completed a loan with LendingIQ and have not taken a new product within the expected renewal window — detects the signals that indicate they are back in the market for credit, calibrates a win-back offer that reflects their prior repayment record and current market context, and runs a structured 21-day re-engagement sequence designed to bring them back before they commit to a competitor. It replaces the manual win-back campaign work of a dedicated win-back manager, while ensuring that every lapsed borrower receives a timely, relevant, and policy-compliant re-engagement at the moment of maximum openness.

Primary functions

Lapsed Borrower Detection

Continuous · event-triggered and monthly scan

Invoked when: loan closure event fires in LOS, or monthly scan identifies borrowers in the 6–18 month post-closure window without a new product

  • Identifies two categories of reactivation candidates: recent closures (loans that closed in the past 30–90 days where the borrower has not yet applied for a new product — early reactivation where the relationship is still warm) and aged lapses (borrowers 6–18 months post-closure who have not returned — later reactivation where the relationship needs rebuilding). The 6–18 month window is the primary target for reactivation because borrowers outside it have either chosen another lender as their primary (beyond 18 months) or are in the natural post-repayment pause that precedes new credit demand (under 6 months).
  • Monitors the bureau for re-enquiry signals on lapsed borrowers — a credit bureau enquiry from a lapsed borrower indicates that they are actively shopping for a new loan. This is the highest-priority reactivation signal, because it identifies a borrower who is in the market right now. A bureau re-enquiry on a lapsed borrower triggers an immediate reactivation outreach rather than waiting for the monthly scan cycle — timing is everything when a borrower is comparing options.
  • Scores lapsed borrowers by reactivation likelihood using their prior loan history: NPS score at closure (satisfied borrowers are more likely to return), repayment record (borrowers who paid consistently are better credit risks and receive better win-back offers), closure type (pre-closure borrowers had sufficient cash to repay early — a positive signal; write-off closures are excluded from reactivation), and time since closure (the probability of return declines with time — borrowers 6 months post-closure have higher reactivation potential than those 18 months out).
Output: Prioritised reactivation candidate list — recent closures, aged lapses, and bureau re-enquiry alerts ranked by reactivation likelihood. Bureau re-enquiry cases flagged for immediate outreach. Write-off closures excluded. Delivered to offer calibration sub-process.

Offer Calibration

Per reactivation candidate · before sequence launch

Invoked when: a lapsed borrower is confirmed as a reactivation candidate — offer is calibrated before the 21-day sequence begins

  • Calibrates the win-back offer by combining three inputs: the borrower's prior repayment record (a clean repayment history justifies a rate improvement on their next loan — this is the primary win-back lever), the current market rate environment from the Risk-Based Pricing Agent AI (the win-back offer should be at least as competitive as what the borrower would receive at origination today), and the borrower's estimated current creditworthiness (bureau data and the time elapsed since closure). The win-back offer is not a blanket discount — it is a rate that reflects the returning borrower's track record, calibrated to bring them back rather than simply to match a hypothetical competitor.
  • Checks win-back offer eligibility through the Credit Decision Agent AI before the offer is dispatched — a lapsed borrower whose bureau profile has deteriorated since their prior loan may not be eligible for the same product at the win-back rate. An offer dispatched without eligibility check creates the expectation of a loan the credit workflow may not approve; the eligibility check prevents this disappointment from occurring at the point of application.
  • For high-value lapsed borrowers (prior loan above ₹25 lakh), flags the reactivation candidate for relationship manager outreach in addition to the automated sequence. High-value borrowers respond better to personal contact than to automated sequences alone; the RM call provides the human relationship dimension that the sequence supports rather than replaces.
Output: Calibrated win-back offer per reactivation candidate — product, amount, rate, and tenure. Eligibility confirmed by Credit Decision Agent AI before offer dispatch. High-value borrower flags for RM outreach. Offer parameters logged in CRM for sequence personalisation.

21-Day Re-Engagement Sequence

Per reactivation candidate · one sequence per lapse event

Invoked when: win-back offer is calibrated and eligibility confirmed — 21-day sequence begins on day 1

  • Runs a structured 7-step sequence over 21 days: Day 1 — relationship acknowledgment message (no offer, simply acknowledging the completed journey and expressing that LendingIQ values the relationship); Day 4 — soft product introduction (mentioning that a new offer is available, without stating specifics — curiosity before commitment); Day 7 — offer reveal (specific win-back offer with amount, rate, and a clear acceptance path); Day 10 — offer reminder with a different framing (addressing the most likely objection for the borrower's segment — rate, process simplicity, or speed); Day 14 — social proof message (how other returning borrowers have used their next loan); Day 18 — urgency message (offer validity window closing, specific expiry date); Day 21 — final message (offer expiry acknowledgment, open invitation to return when the time is right — no pressure, preserving the relationship for the next cycle).
  • Adapts the sequence channel per borrower — the channel on which the borrower most engaged during their prior loan tenure is the primary sequence channel for reactivation. A borrower who never opened emails but consistently read WhatsApp messages receives the reactivation sequence on WhatsApp. Channel mismatch between the sequence and the borrower's preferred channel is a common win-back failure mode; this agent routes to the historically responsive channel from the prior relationship data.
  • Tracks sequence engagement at each step — open rates, click rates, and application submissions. Where a borrower engages with an earlier step (clicks the Day 4 soft introduction) but does not convert, the subsequent steps are accelerated — a borrower who is clearly interested but hesitant receives the Day 7 offer reveal earlier than scheduled. Rigid 21-day sequences that do not respond to engagement signals waste the engagement window that the early steps have created.
Output: 21-day sequence executed per reactivation candidate — 7 steps, personalised channel, engagement-adaptive pacing. Application submissions routed to the standard credit processing workflow. Sequence completion report — engagement by step, conversion rate, and win-back rate vs the reactivation candidate pool.

Knowledge base

Prior Loan History and Repayment Record

Full history of the lapsed borrower's prior LendingIQ loan — product type, amount, rate, repayment track record, NPS score, and channel engagement history. The foundation for offer calibration and sequence personalisation.

Bureau Re-Enquiry Signal Feed

Real-time alerts when a lapsed borrower's bureau profile shows a new credit enquiry from another lender. The highest-priority reactivation trigger — indicates the borrower is actively in the market.

Win-Back Sequence Templates

Pre-approved 7-step message templates per borrower segment — relationship acknowledgment, soft introduction, offer reveal, objection handling, social proof, urgency, and closing. Marketing-head-approved before activation.

Risk-Based Pricing Agent AI — Win-Back Rate Output

Market-calibrated rate for the win-back offer, reflecting the borrower's prior repayment record and current market conditions. The primary win-back lever — a meaningfully better rate than the borrower would receive elsewhere.

Unsubscribe and Suppression Registry

Permanent unsubscribe records and 6-month post-sequence suppression list. Checked before every send; suppressed borrowers are excluded from all reactivation outreach.

Pre-Training — Win-Back and Retention Knowledge

Customer win-back methodology, re-engagement sequence design, and financial services retention best practices up to knowledge cutoff.

Hard guardrails

Will notContact a lapsed borrower who has unsubscribed from marketing communications. Unsubscribes are permanent and non-negotiable — they are checked before every send in the sequence, not just at sequence initiation. A borrower who unsubscribes during the sequence has the remaining steps immediately cancelled.
Will notDispatch a win-back offer without confirming credit eligibility through the Credit Decision Agent AI. An offer dispatched to a borrower who is not currently eligible creates an expectation the credit workflow cannot fulfil — the resulting rejection is more damaging to the relationship than no offer at all.
Will notReactivate borrowers whose prior loan was closed as a write-off. Write-off closures indicate a credit performance failure; re-extending credit to these borrowers requires manual credit committee review, not automated reactivation. Write-off closures are permanently excluded from the automated reactivation workflow.
Will notRecycle non-responding borrowers through the same sequence. A borrower who completes the full 21-day sequence without responding is suppressed for 6 months. Repeated sequences to non-responders increase unsubscribe rates, damage brand perception, and consume outreach budget on borrowers who have clearly decided not to return at this time.

Known limitations

The agent cannot determine the actual reason a borrower lapsed — whether they chose a competitor for a better rate, had a negative experience with LendingIQ, no longer need credit, or simply have not yet had a new credit requirement arise. The reactivation sequence is calibrated for the most common lapse reason (competitive rate) and the most treatable one (timing); borrowers who lapsed due to a service failure require a different approach that this sequence does not address.Add a single-question exit survey to the loan closure communication — "What brought your loan journey to a close?" with three options — to collect lapse reason data. Even a 15% response rate on closure surveys would give enough signal to segment the reactivation approach by lapse reason rather than applying the same sequence to all lapsed borrowers.
Bureau re-enquiry signals depend on LendingIQ having a bureau alert subscription for lapsed borrowers. Where the bureau alert service has gaps in coverage — certain bureau partners, certain credit product types — re-enquiries on those borrowers will not trigger the immediate reactivation alert, and the borrower will only be caught in the monthly scan cycle.Audit the bureau alert subscription coverage annually — confirming which bureau partners and product types are covered by the alert service. Where gaps exist, weigh the cost of expanding coverage against the value of the immediate reactivation trigger for the uncovered segments.
