The platform integrates simply and seamlessly with existing credit decisioning systems and takes full advantage of modern AI capabilities. It also includes a library of credit-risk predictors and preconfigured features, making it easier for lending teams to substantially enhance existing algorithms for lending product underwriting.

Lars Rottweiler adds, “One vital aspect of why we selected SMEApprove’s technology is that it ensures high levels of explainability. This allows Mbanq’s compliance team to understand, supervise and trust automated decisions, alleviating concerns about compliance and potential unfair lending practices.”
The platform incorporates a variety of new and existing data sources, enabling lenders to assess risk quickly and accurately, which helps them make informed decisions. By extending credit to a broader range of SMEs, the platform also increases lenders’ market reach.
