AI-driven embedded lending emerges as digital finance option

Artificial intelligence is starting to transform buy-now, pay-later options and other types of embedded lending by taking over many of the steps of credit approval. It can speed up the information processing, analysis and decision-making of online lending, improve its accuracy and profitability, and ultimately make credit available to more consumers and businesses.

But AI lending also carries the risk of bias against minority groups, and borrowers and lenders must feel they can trust the AI to make fair, fiscally sound decisions. Many banks already have digital infrastructure for online lending and use it to offer loans on websites and retail payment terminals, but they're reluctant to add AI until the regulatory and risk management issues are resolved.     

In this episode, we explore how embedded lending platforms work, who uses them, and the benefits and challenges of automating the lending process with AI.

Featuring: Yaacov Martin, Co-founder and CEO, The Jifiti Group
