How AI is used

Zest AI is a technology platform for financial institutions to manage the credit decisioning process. It uses machine learning and generative AI to analyze data points beyond traditional credit models, which supports risk ranking and automated decisions.

The software is designed for lenders of various sizes, including small credit unions and large banks. It focuses on three main areas: automated underwriting, fraud detection, and lending intelligence for portfolio monitoring.

By using client-tailored models, the platform is designed to help lenders identify creditworthy borrowers who may be overlooked by generic models. It also includes tools intended to help identify and reduce bias in the underwriting process.

Buyers should confirm their current loan origination system compatibility, as the platform provides a native integration with Temenos.
