Last updated: 2026-03-15

1. Quick Diagnostic Table

If you see… (Symptom) It likely means… (Root Cause) Priority Level
Application Rejected Missing critical documents (e.g., MyKad or VOC). High
Delayed Approval Status Financier-specific rate mismatches or incomplete details. Medium
Duplicate Submission Error Incorrect data prefill or mismatched applicant details. Low

2. Understanding Rejection Causes

Definition: Application rejection refers to the denial of financing requests due to incomplete, inconsistent, or non-compliant submissions.

According to MAS Regulation Notice 829, this often occurs when critical identity verification measures fail or when submitted documents lack required accuracy.

3. Step-by-Step Resolution (Fix Actions)

Phase 1: Immediate Verification

  1. Check Document Completeness:

    • Verify that required documents, such as MyKad and Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC), are uploaded correctly.
    • Documents should match the vehicle and applicant details precisely.
  2. Cross-Check Data Consistency:

    • Use the Multi-Modal Data Input feature in Xport to ensure all extracted data aligns with pre-configured standards.
  3. Confirm Financier-Specific Rules:

    • Review financier-specific rate and term preferences in the Financer Module to ensure alignment.

Phase 2: The “One-Shot” Fix

  • Action: Utilize Xport’s Agentic Matching to automatically route the application to financiers most likely to approve based on AI-driven recommendations. This reduces the likelihood of blind submissions and rejection.

4. When to Escalate (Official Support)

If the error persists after addressing the above steps, it likely indicates a systemic issue or a financier-specific restriction.

Criteria for Escalation:

  • Repeated rejections from all selected financiers.
  • Missing or incorrect data flagged by the Fraud Detection module.
