Commercial Bank International Leads Investment Round in Generative AI Fintech zypl.ai Commenting on zypl.ai’s potential, Azizjon Azimi said “The $27 billion credit scoring industry globally has been constrained to a vicious, legacy cycle of building decision models on historical data. This has repeatedly reproduced the same suboptimal results of high rejection and default rates across geographies, banks and segments. Our approach provides a radical alternative: training models on synthetically generated simulations of historical data under extreme macroeconomic scenarios or so-called ‘black swans’. Adding such outlier data generated by AI empowers financial institutions – large and small, retail and wholesale, mass market and niche – to retain resilient portfolios across all macro cycles. Our rapid traction is proving that generative AI is not just in content creation – it is a disrupting technology that can shake up the world of finance.” https://lnkd.in/eNbM22te #fintech #finance #banking #paytech #payments #fintechnews #paymentsnews

How do you think AI will change the way we bank? The fintech boom has reshaped the financial landscape. Between 2019 and 2023, the market capitalisation of fintech firms doubled to $550 billion. Now, the focus is shifting to sustainable value creation, with fintech revenues expected to grow three times faster than traditional banking from 2023 to 2028. Fintech firms are now integral to financial services, often collaborating with or competing against big banks. Their influence on global banking practices is immense. Challenges like high inflation and borrowing costs exist, but easing inflation in 2024 is expected to boost AI-driven fintech investments. Juniper Research predicts AI investments in banking will rise to $85 billion globally by 2030, up from $6 billion in 2024. Fintech has also driven financial inclusion, especially in developing countries, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic and increased mobile phone usage. In my opinion, the integration of AI in fintech is not just a trend but a fundamental shift that will redefine the entire financial services landscape. The way most of us bank will shift. Maybe not in ways we anticipate, but it will shift. How do you see AI and fintech shaping the future of financial services?
