Fintech Galaxy Launches Open Banking Credit Scoring Capabilities in Partnership with Singapore’s FinbotsAI
April 23, 2024
Fintech Galaxy, a leader in Open Banking and financial innovation, has launched innovative credit profiling capabilities in collaboration with Singaporean fintech company FinbotsAI using artificial intelligence models and aggregated Open Banking data. The new product promises to transform use cases like credit scoring and risk assessment in the MENA region.
FinbotsAI’s groundbreaking AI credit scoring & decisioning solution, CreditX, has been integrated with Fintech Galaxy’s Open Finance API platform FINX Connect, empowering lenders and merchants across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to scale lending initiatives and promote financial inclusion, while safely managing credit risk. Facilitated through secure API-based onboarding via FINX Connect, lenders gain access to high-accuracy risk assessment and real-time credit decisioning.
Lenders across 11 countries in Asia and MENA have seen higher accuracy models generated on the CreditX platform, delivering an increase in approval rates of 20%, a reduction of loss rates by 15%, and a large productivity boost in risk model development. By aggregating various data sets using Open Banking, Fintech Galaxy’s FINX significantly improves the lending cycle, offering superior real-time scoring accuracy compared to legacy methods, logistic regression-based models, and credit bureau data.
Speaking about the partnership, Sanjay Uppal – Founder & CEO of FinbotsAI stated, “We are excited to choose Fintech Galaxy as our Open Banking partner in the MENA region to drive financial inclusion and democratize AI credit scoring capabilities. By integrating CreditX into FINX Connect, we aim to empower lenders to reduce risk and improve profitability by making better credit risk decisions, ultimately reaching more customers across the region.”
