These figures represent the upper bound of typical outcomes for lenders running FCA-authorised books on HES LoanBox and GiniMachine. Specific client results range from **50% to 85% on operational cost reduction**, from **15% to 70% Gini index uplift** versus bureau-only scorecards, and from **40% to 60% reduction in manual workload** across underwriting, complaints, and vulnerability assessment workflows. Outcomes vary by portfolio size, segment, and existing process maturity. Every figure is supported by both documented HES client outcomes and independent industry research. **60% cost reduction.** Lending in the United Kingdom under the FCA's Consumer Duty puts every line of the price-and-value assessment under scrutiny — automation is the only way to trim per-loan cost without dropping outcomes.

[Idea Bank](https://hesfintech.com/clients/ideabank/) eliminated manual checks on POS lending entirely — the entire process now runs without additional staff intervention. The [FCA's Consumer Duty](https://www.fca.org.uk/firms/consumer-duty) requires firms to evidence good outcomes across product design, price-value, consumer understanding, and consumer support — a volume of monitoring that manual processes cannot sustain at scale. [McKinsey](https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/industries/financial%20services/our%20insights/ai%20powered%20decision%20making%20for%20the%20bank%20of%20the%20future/ai-powered-decision-making-for-the-bank-of-the-future.pdf) documents AI-powered decisioning improving operational efficiency across the lending value chain — from customer servicing through portfolio monitoring — by eliminating repetitive data work and freeing staff for higher-value tasks.
