Provenir Unveils Amazon Machine Learning Adapter

New Provenir Adapter adds Machine Learning to the risk analytics and decisioning toolkit for faster credit and risk decisions

New Jersey, US – 20 March 2017 – Provenir, provider of risk analytics and decisioning solutions, today unveiled the new Provenir Adapter for Amazon Machine Learning for financial institutions seeking to add machine learning to their toolkit without the time and resources typically associated with development. The latest in Provenir’s suite of adapters automatically feeds the predictive score returned by the Amazon Machine Learning model into the risk decisioning process. The Provenir Platform then automates that process, instantly executing a pass, fail or refer result from a risk score.

Provenir Adapter Makes Machine Learning More Accessible to Lenders
“While Machine Learning has massive implications in financial services, few organisations are able to dedicate full time resources to the development of homegrown machine learning capabilities” said Larry Smith, CEO and Founder, Provenir. “The Provenir Adapter for Amazon Machine Learning makes machine learning accessible to those companies who are focused on their core businesses by eliminating the need for a dedicated expert.”

Inexperienced Developer Deploys ML Model in Less Than 20 Minutes
Smith shared an example. “With no experience in machine learning, one developer on our team was able to build and deploy a machine learning model in less than 20 minutes, operationalizing that model in the Provenir Platform in just hours. Historically, that would have taken a team of people a month to achieve.”

Visually Configurable, Real-Time, Risk Analytics
To meet customer expectations of speed, efficiency and cost, financial service providers need risk management solutions that are visual and intuitive, don’t require coding expertise or development skills to update, and are flexible enough to adapt in changing situations. This integration pairs Provenir’s visually configurable risk platform with Amazon Machine Learning for real-time, user-friendly, risk analytics and decisioning.

About Provenir
Provenir makes risk analytics faster and simpler for financial institutions. The Provenir risk analytics and decisioning platform is a powerful orchestration hub that can listen to any channel, integrate with any data service and operationalize any analytic model. Helping clients process more applications with greater efficiency and increase sales conversions with instant, real-time risk decisioning, Provenir serves clients across a broad range of financial verticals including consumer, cards, payments, ecommerce and auto financing.

Breaking down the Barriers to Financial Inclusion

New research, supported by Oakam, highlights need for shake up in the way the financially excluded are assessed for credit worthiness

In Oakam’s experience those using ‘high cost’ credit is a diverse group which includes those on low incomes and those with little credit history such as recent migrants.  These consumers are usually borrowing with a very clear understanding of the costs associated with their borrowing choices.  In fact, as recent research by Which magazine revealed, a ‘high cost’ loan is very often a cheaper option for consumers than an overdraft facility on their current account (which begs the question…high cost in comparison to what?).  However, it appears that even responsible users of ‘high cost’ credit – those that make the required repayments and manage their other debt obligations at the same time—suffer from constrained future access to credit.  This is clearly unjust.

There is no doubt…the way credit is accessed in the UK is broken for millions of people.

It was designed for big banks with credit bureaus developing credit scores for mortgages, credit cards, and personal loans for Prime borrowers.

However, for those on the low end of the economic spectrum, credit scoring tools today may in fact be trapping consumers in high cost debt.

Taking a small loan, even with a high APR, can be the right decision for a consumer if it lowers the chance of default on other obligations.

However, Oakam has evidence that even when taking a small loan improves how that customer services their debt obligations, their credit score can suffer long term damage.

The impact of this damage means the customer finds they have fewer options for accessing credit, forcing them to rely even more on high cost credit and the cycle continues.

At Oakam, we recently supported the work done by academics from The London School of Economics and Political Science, Sussex University, and New York University looking at the long term impact of the use of ‘high cost’ credit.  The full study can be downloaded from the Social Science Research Network.

In their paper, the authors found evidence that “using high-cost credit may leave a stigma on a borrower’s credit history: if borrowers that take up high-cost loans are tagged as high-risk by lenders, they may as a result face higher borrowing costs in the future.”    If users of high cost credit actually showed deteriorating repayment behaviour this increase in future borrowing costs might make sense. However, the authors also found “that borrowers that take up a high-cost loan suffer an immediate decline in their credit rating. This decline cannot be explained by the repayment behavior of the borrower, because, if anything, taking up high-cost loan improves repayment behavior.”

At Oakam, we view our success as synonymous with our customers’ success.  As one company we alone can’t change the plight of the financial excluded.  What we can do is make sure that our product and services are designed to create the best customer outcomes, which we believe are access to credit today to address a pressing need and the option to access to more credit at a lower price in the future.  For example, we lower customer’s interest rates over time, offer small weekly repayments, and always allow a loan to amortize as opposed to being rolled over into an even larger debt.

But there is only so much we can do when the broader system is stacked against ‘high cost’   borrowers.

Some companies, like Aire, are pioneering new ways of assessing borrowers credit worthiness.  And, other companies such as Pockit and TransferGo are making financial services more accessible to lower income consumers.  But more needs to be done.  That is why we urgently calling for policy makers and like-minded Fintech companies and lenders to address the systemic problems relating to access to credit for lower income or financially excluded customers.

This blog post discusses the impact of the current system for assessing credit worthiness on the well- being of ‘high cost’ borrowers.  A future blog post will discuss how the underlying costs of providing credit to the financially excluded is a key driver of the higher costs these customers face.

Oakam is backed by Cabot Square Capital LLP, a leading financial services private equity firm.

The ‘under banked’ foreigners are an untapped customer base for lenders in the US

Written by on . Posted in Blog. No Comments on The ‘under banked’ foreigners are an untapped customer base for lenders in the US

The ‘Under Banked’ Foreigners
are an Untapped Customer Base for Lenders in the US

In 2015, the U.S. Department of State issued 477,780 temporary work visas to foreign nationals

These people represent 0.3 percent of the U.S. labor force and are a largely untapped customer base for U.S. businesses. Why? They do not have traditional credit history established in the U.S. and so businesses are not comfortable taking on the risk of their business. When I moved from Australia four years ago on a work visa, I could not even get a cell phone contract.

I approached multiple phone providers and they all told me the same thing. That I did not have enough of a credit history to merit a long term phone contract with their company. This is because most companies – not just phone providers – use traditional databases and resources like the FICO score to determine the creditworthiness of an individual.

FICO scores are a purely U.S. based metric and so, while I own property in Australia and hold a job in the U.S., I was requisitioned to a month to month plan on a lesser phone carrier. This month to month plan has allowed me to build my “financial reputation” and one day I hope to graduate to a regular cell phone plan within the U.S.

My new credit reputation will then also give banks the confidence to one day give me a business, home or auto loan. But it will have taken them over two and a half years to do so. In the meantime, my phone carrier and other traditional lenders have lost out on millions of dollars on potential long term contracts with me and thousands of other “under banked” foreign nationals.

As financial tides turn around the globe and the makeup of the U.S. workforce continues to diversify, many alternative and P2P lenders are realizing that relying on the limited data of a FICO score to provide a credible risk assessment of a potential customer is no longer viable. Casting a wider net to incorporate data from international bureaus and an individual’s social media profile can provide a better risk profile for customers who come from overseas, so that both customers and businesses can benefit in a more positive way.

Happy 50th Birthday Barclaycard: Is It Now Time To Retire?

Written by Amy Sariego on . Posted in Blog. No Comments on Happy 50th Birthday Barclaycard: Is It Now Time To Retire?

Happy 50th Birthday Barclaycard:
Is It Now Time To Retire?

Barclaycard, the UK’s first credit card, hits a major milestone today as it celebrates its 50thbirthday.

It was on this day back in 1966 when the very first Barclaycard was dispatched. By the end of that year, some 1.25 million Brits had received one through their letterboxes. While not all of these people went on to make a purchase using their card, for many, this plastic rectangle was a liberating addition to their wallets and purses.

Just like with Bank of America’s Americard launch in 1958 (which was later rebranded as Visa), Barclaycard kick-started the democratization of the UK lending industry. For example, women no longer needed a male guarantor to get credit, while paying for meals out and shopping became quicker and easier for consumers and merchants alike.

With credit limits of no more than £100 and just one month to pay back the money borrowed, this was by no means an overnight credit revolution, but the launch of the UK’s first credit card did set the wheels in motion for what today has become an enormous industry. Indeed, in November 2015, some 60 million credit cards were in circulation in the UK.

But at the grand old age of 50, will it soon be time for Barclaycard (and the many other credit cards now on offer) to reach for the pipe and slippers?

This isn’t likely to happen anytime soon. The credit card industry is doing a pretty decent job of developing and adopting new technology to streamline its processes and make credit even more accessible to customers. Contactless technology, mobile payments and wearables, improved security, as well as the use of Big Data in order to make swift, accurate credit decisions, are all colliding to make today’s credit card payment process simple, quick and hassle-free.

But despite all this innovation, don’t expect credit card providers to have it all their own way in the future.  The emergence of P2P lending, online payment services, payday loans and pre-paid cards (to name just a few) means that today’s consumers and small businesses are faced with considerably more choice and control over how and when they access credit.

It is this increased market competition that will ensure that the democratization of credit – a process that started in the UK 50 years ago today – will continue to evolve.

You can learn more about how Barclaycard fits into the history of lending on our infographic.

Provenir is Now Integrated with Salesforce

Provenir is now integrated with Salesforce
Platform providing a risk analytics and decisioning orchestration hub to banks and fintech disruptors adds Salesforce integration

New York, NY – May 5 2016 – Provenir, provider of risk analytics and decisioning solutions, today announces the integration of its platform with Salesforce to improve the execution of complex credit decisioning processes with increased transparency across platforms. Companies that use Salesforce for customer relationship management (CRM) can now connect to Provenir’s platform to run automated risk analytics and decisioning for credit and loan applications, as well as mobile payments and e-commerce transactions — all from within their Salesforce environments.

Slow, inefficient manual processes hamper risk analytics and decisioning processes. Banks, card issuers and even fintech disruptors spend hours performing credit checks, risk scoring and due diligence processes on legacy systems. Not only does this make the process more complex, it often requires the duplication of customer data, which is both time consuming and error prone. Through this integration, Provenir’s risk platform interacts directly with Salesforce for a real-time and seamless risk analytics and decisioning processing experience that utilises a single data set.

“To manage the full credit and risk lifecycle, companies need to integrate with service bureaus, internal and external databases, risk models and CRM systems. At Provenir, we provide an orchestration hub that is truly agnostic to any technology, database, data service or risk model. With that, we can help clients automate and move towards instantaneous risk decisioning and provide a real-time experience to their customers,” said Paul Thomas, Managing Director, Provenir.

Salesforce and others are among the trademarks of salesforce.com, inc.

Money20/20 Europe – a breath of fresh air

Money20/20 Europe –
a breath of fresh air

The arrival of Money20/20 in Copenhagen brought a breath of fresh air to the European conference circuit. The high-energy, well-structured event generated a bright atmosphere for conversation and collaboration – and not just because business in the networking area was conducted in colourful sheds. Notable by their absence were customers, but industry players were out in force and a recurring topic of conversation was how today’s banks and financial institutions can add immediacy to their processes.

The fact that customers have taken to services like Amazon 1-Click, Twitter and Alipay suggests that immediacy is what they want.

To deliver it, banks and FIs need to be digital and online. That’s a minimum, but it isn’t enough. They also need decision-making that supports immediacy. Manual, complex risk analytics and decisioning is clunky and slow. Automated, streamlined processes returning a rapid ‘yes’ or an immediate ‘no’ credit or loan decision are what’s needed.

People share information online constantly; and it’s resulted in new forms of data. The complete view of a prospective customer no longer resides only in bank statements and spreadsheets. It’s also in online reviews and online behaviour.

If a consumer wants to know if a company is reliable and provides value for money, they’ll look at review sites and read what people have written about them on Twitter. Why wouldn’t the same information form part of risk decisions taken by finance and payments providers?

Inspiring speakers at the event included BBVA’s CEO Carlos Torres Vila and Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO and co-founder of innovative e-commerce company Klarna, which is changing the way people pay for goods online. Ricky Knox, co-founder of digital-only bank Tandem talked about how their approach is reimagining the bank as we know it.

It was a successful start in Europe for the Money 20/20 brand. We look forward to October and Las Vegas.

Learn how Klarna was able to increase agility with credit risk analytics.
