The sampling methodology used in this study is deliberate and snowball sampling. This approach allows for the identification of specific groups of informants based on the research subject, issue, and contextual circumstances. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using MAXQDA software to conduct a theme analysis. This analysis included three primary steps: open, axial, and selective coding. The findings indicate that 5 determinants of Insufficiency in the customer evaluation procedure; Absence of an integrated information system; Failure to use the novel loan-collecting mechanisms; Deficiency in the workflow; Lack of expertise personnel in credit issues had a significant impact on the formation of these types of loans.
