Artificial intelligence in banks and financial service providers

Artificial intelligence offers great opportunities for banks. This is because the use of AI supports banks and financial institutions in various activities and they benefit from an optimization of processes.

Data & AI in banks

AI technologies make banking processes faster, money transfers more secure and back-end operations more efficient. The use of AI is particularly worthwhile in areas where the legislator has imposed a large number of legal requirements on institutions. Document and information verification in the lending business is a prominent example. Today's credit customers demand a process that is as trouble-free and comprehensible as possible. In addition, a decision on their application should be made quickly. The complete application often comprises many pages of more or less structured data - personal details, real estate or construction plans and details, work contracts and modernization documents; and this time as a letter, e-mail, fax or mobile phone photo.

AI unfolds the potential when searching for information in extensive documents, thus making the relevant sections in the document visually easy to find for a human inspector. The same applies to the use of the often required dual control principle. The dual control principle is considered a reliable cross-check in work processes. The intelligent visualization with AI of relevant data in a document, also helps people to work spatially separated in a document. In addition to the two human controllers, the AI also ensures a qualified and well-founded content control and prevents a "quick co-signing" of the second person even in so-called mass transactions.

If the fixed interest rate of the initial loan expires, borrowers need follow-up financing for the remaining debt. It is important to make a new offer or draw attention to a forward loan at an early stage for the borrower to decide on an in-house follow-up financing and not have the debt rescheduled with another lender. When the follow-up financing is concluded, it becomes necessary to update any documents, such as proof of equity and salary statements for the last three months.

    One way of offering better conditions than other lenders in the area of loan financing for current contracts is to replace an old loan with a debt rescheduling. However, the question of whether a rescheduling is worthwhile for the borrower can only be answered after careful examination of the loan agreements. In the case of installment loans, for example, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of the loan in order to determine the regulated amount of compensation payments.
