The Potential of AI in Lending
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform the lending landscape by increasing access for underbanked individuals. Currently, only a small percentage of banks utilize AI in their lending processes, but interest is growing as AI can analyze a wider range of data points beyond traditional credit scores. For instance, algorithms can evaluate payment history for rent and utility bills, enabling banks to assess creditworthiness for applicants who may lack standard documentation. This innovative approach could help low-income consumers secure loans that they might otherwise be denied, potentially leveling the playing field in the financial sector.
