Fintech: more applications of artificial intelligence

 

As a previous article advanced, artificial intelligence is being used in the fintech sector to refine robo-advisors and process optimisation. This post will look at more of its applications.

Credit scoring
Current credit scoring systems are outdated. Decisions are based on demographic profiles, such as occupation, age, race, gender, etc. However, the person making the application is not considered. Thanks to artificial intelligence and machine learning, companies are able to profile customer risk more accurately by taking into account the person, and not stereotypes. Because of these engaging technologies, non-performing loans can be decreased by up to 50%. Moreover, firms are less likely to lend to risky clients and customers can access financial services faster. Loan-decision making is instant.

Security
A study conducted last year revealed that more than 55% of businesses across the world reported frauds in 2020. Some of the major concerns are linked to account opening and take-over fraud. With criminals having more opportunities nowadays, providers have to be one step ahead and use the latest technologies to ensure their clients are protected. It is also vital that customers are aware of this. The upcoming days will see an increase in artificial intelligence and machine learning security solutions. These innovations can be used to analyse documents for account registration or to detect anomalies in patterns within accounts.
