Straight-through processing (STP)

Straight-through processing (STP) is handling a transaction end to end with no manual intervention. In lending, an application that is captured, assessed, decided and funded automatically has been processed straight through. A higher STP rate means lower cost and faster decisions.

STP is not about removing judgement everywhere; it is about automating the clear cases and routing only genuine exceptions to a human. The aim is to lift the share of applications decided instantly while keeping decisions sound and explainable.

Clean data, good rules and reliable integrations are what make high STP possible.
