Avida Finans: CIO Insights

BLOG

Avida Finans: CIO Insights

In the first part of a series of guest Q&As with our regional customers, Jenny Larsson, Chief Information Officer at Avida Finans talks to our very own Patrick Radise about Avida’s journey, adapting to trends and challenges in the market, choosing Provenir technology and nurturing tech talent.

Can you tell us about Avida Finans, the markets you serve and the products that you offer?

We are a Swedish credit market company that since the start in 1983 has focused on offering loans to individuals and corporates in the Nordic region. At Avida we are unique. We want to be seen as a professional compliment to larger banks and a responsive partner that helps private individuals or companies realize their plans. Our business is growing and we currently have 115 employees working out of our offices in Stockholm, Oslo, and Helsinki.

What challenges or needs did you face in your industry that led you to look for a decisioning solution like Provenir?

Time is a critical factor for us; our customers expect an instant decision at the tip of their fingers. This requires a solution that can automate processing and models. We also had a disbursed system landscape and saw an opportunity to act smarter and faster with one platform that could plug into multiple areas.

What types of data are you using to determine credit decisions? How has Provenir’s technology helped your team access new data and build new credit risk models?

We use application data, internal data, credit bureau data, and other sources in order to perform a full credit assessment of each application. The main advantage of the Provenir Platform for us is the combination of ease of use, suitability, and flexibility when it comes to integrations, plugins, and speed. In turn, this means we can develop models in a more agile manner.

How has Provenir’s technology helped to enhance your speed-to-decision application process and customer experience?

We’ve enhanced our models which have resulted in improved accuracy overall – a fantastic result which helps both our customers and the company. In the past, we had models embedded into systems that have required different software engineers and suppliers, more effort, and longer lead times to update. With Provenir this is now in the hands of our analytics team, it’s more visualized and easily configurable, which in the end, shortens time-to-market.

In addition, we have also built a strong partnership with Provenir where their team really understands our product and provides excellent support.

What trends do you see developing in the market and how are these driving your vision and shaping your innovation plans?

It’s an interesting market at the moment, a lot has been turned upside down. However, general trends persist – digitalization, the expectation from customers that every interaction is instant and smooth. We’re also a small player with highly-skilled colleagues and ambitious plans; to make them come true we’re continuously removing mundane tasks so we can focus on the things that matter most for us and our customers. Data is another trend and at Avida we’re building a lot of insight through data to be able to make real-time decisions on our business.

Finally, what’s it like to work at Avida Finans? How do you nurture tech talent and what advice would you give to someone starting out their career in finance technology?

No day is the same. We’re small and entrepreneurial, this means that everyone matters and can make a difference. This motivates everyone at Avida where we change and improve things constantly.

From a tech perspective, we want to try out new technology and continuously update the solutions and infrastructure so it’s further ahead than the market in general. We believe that this develops the talent at Avida but also attracts external talent. We’ve been on a journey for the past 2 years where we’ve raised the bar significantly, everything newly developed is made through microservices in the cloud, we’ve moved a lot of infrastructure to the cloud, automated processes etc… the list goes on. People that join us typically like the entrepreneurial side, the possibility to grow and make an impact and finally they are attracted by the technology landscape.

In terms of advice for someone starting their career in finance technology; firstly build your technical foundation – be curious and make sure you find people in your organization that are smart and can share knowledge. Secondly, it’s important to understand your business and your customers to deliver the right solutions, make sure you understand the processes, and what’s important for the company to be successful.

See how you can use the power of the Provenir Platform to drive digital innovation in your risk decisioning processes

A ‘Virtual’ Team Effort: GoBear Deploys Provenir Cloud to Power Digital Financial Services in ASEAN

A ‘Virtual’ Team Effort:
GoBear Deploys Provenir Cloud to Power Digital Financial Services in ASEAN

A ‘virtual’ team effort; GoBear deploys Provenir Cloud to power digital financial services in ASEAN

Provenir supports GoBear’s financial inclusion goals with cloud-based risk analytics platform deployed via ‘virtual’ teams

Singapore – April 22, 2020– Provenir, a leader in risk decisioning and data analytics software, announced today that GoBear has chosen the Provenir Platform to power innovative user experiences for its customers, and has deployed the technology through a ‘virtual’ team approach amidst the current COVID-19 crisis. Singapore-based fintech GoBear is an industry-leading and highly innovative financial services organization focused on improving financial inclusion throughout the ASEAN region.

The Provenir Platform was selected for its ability to support GoBear’s innovation plans and to empower the business to meet the increasing demand for simplified, digital-first banking experiences throughout the region. GoBear will use the Platform to process and assess insurance and loan applications in real-time through Provenir’s cloud-based risk analytics solution and use the low-code Platform to rapidly implement and iterate risk processes.

“To fulfil our core mission to improve financial inclusion, we needed to provide a simplified, fast and effortless experience for our users,” Nelius Strydom, Chief Product Officer of GoBear explained. “Provenir’s user-friendly solution allows us to be in full control of our risk strategy while powering real-time decisioning for our customers. With the speed and flexibility of the Provenir Platform driving our decisioning, we will be able to manage and configure business logic or risk policy as the company grows.”

“We are very excited to have GoBear onboard using Provenir’s cloud-based Risk Analytics and Decisioning Platform to deliver a real-time, world-class digital experience to its customers,” said John Warren, Provenir’s General Manager of the APAC region. “Despite the constraints of the COVID-19 crisis, huge dedication and versatility has been shown by Provenir and GoBear’s ‘virtual’ teams to deploy the platform on time yet 100% remotely. This is a great example of adapting in these challenging times to continue to deliver for our clients.”

Patrick Tan, Regional Account Director at Provenir added, “We originally planned to conduct a large part of the deployment onsite. This was quickly reviewed in light of the growing crisis and the development and training teams from Asia and the UK were able to collaborate seamlessly via remote technology – an incredible coordinated effort. We’re confident that we can help GoBear achieve the agility and scalability it needs to succeed and grow in Asia’s increasingly competitive financial services landscape.”

Will Social Distancing Propel Latin American Financial Institutions Towards Digitization?

Will Social Distancing Propel Latin American
Financial Institutions Towards Digitization?

Just a few weeks into this crisis, the outlook, and vision of what was intended for the financial market in Latin America, was dramatically advanced. And based on these changes, experts argue that it is time to trust technology more and to adopt and accelerate its use in the products and services that various financial institutions market.

What are the advantages of Fintech? The answer is obvious: you can offer products and services, and acquire clients without having them on-site, that is, without having to appear at a bank or go to a certain physical location. However, only a small percentage of the market knows what a Fintech is, and these clients always fall back on the opportunities that traditional banks can offer them. The Fintech industry, in this period of COVID-19, will need to go through an era of education and drive to generate awareness and exposure among its potential users, to stop being a “nice to have” and finally become a reality. The Fintechs, without question, are here to stay.

The path, in the Latin American market, will be to digitize those “not digitized” and will possibly mark a trend for banks: to offer digital accounts with no monthly maintenance cost (as many Fintech companies do today) to unbanked clients. From this financial inclusion, these users would have easier access to funds from Coronavirus donations.

With the rise of open banking, Fintechs will focus on partnering with traditional banks or other entities to help them in the digitization process, empowering banks to move from an in-person model to a digital model. In the case of risk management, the trend will also be for Fintechs to help Latin American financial institutions on the path and process towards digitization. The Coronavirus will undoubtedly generate an increase in the use of digital technology in the Latin American market, and banking from home will be more useful than ever.

From a financial standpoint, technology will allow financial institutions to offer and market products in an agile and effective way. From a business perspective it will contribute to the “digitalization journey” and the growth of Fintech businesses and other financial institutions. But, perhaps the biggest motivator for taking the digital journey is that financial services organizations can better support clients through difficult times, like the current period of upheaval that Latin America and the rest of the world are going through. It is essential to have software focused on instant risk decisioning that can make it possible to grant any type of financing/credit in real-time, so that customers can access funds quickly.

The operationalization of risk models will also become a fundamental element in successful digitization, especially as financial services businesses expand their use of non-traditional data. These data sources feed innovative risk models that allow more advanced and accurate risk assessments to be made when authorizing payments or making credit approvals, without the support of traditional data, such as credit bureau scores.

The current Coronavirus crisis presents an opportunity to embark on the kind of innovation that the Fintech ecosystem in Latin America needs and, of course, to publicize what these companies offer. Right now, remote work and the possibility of working from home are changing the routine and the way we operate in our daily life. Digital and, therefore, technology will become a fundamental resource for our businesses, increasing both the reliance and the value technology solutions bring.
