Some of the major factors to determine the score for the eligibility of the customer by Decision Analytic software are:

• Monthly credited salary
• Continuity and deviation of salary
• Average Balance of Account
• Deposits 
• Withdrawal

• Loan History

The factors may vary as per bank direction. So all customers having a salary account are not eligible for the service. Only those who meet the threshold score will be eligible for the fone loan.
