Corporate credit for your business is like trying to find a parking space in town on a Saturday – stressful, time-consuming, and usually ending in disappointment. We've ditched the old-school credit reports and the endless waiting. At Numarqe we use a sophisticated AI-driven engine that's like having a financial detective on the case, figuring out what makes your business tick. We get your business faster answers, fairer deals, and credit that fits you like a tailor-made suit. In the words of Montell Jordan, "This is how we do it"
Managing corporate finances for any financial institution is evolving—it has to because businesses are evolving. Managing credit risk is paramount. Traditional methods often fall short, relying on manual processes, outdated data, and human bias, leading to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and untimely risks.
Numarqe is changing the game with its AI-driven credit risk intelligence platform, designed to empower businesses with real-time insights, enhanced decision-making, and optimised portfolio monitoring.
The Limitations of Traditional Credit Risk Assessment
Traditional credit risk assessment models for corporate credit cards often suffer from several drawbacks:
Reliance on Outdated Data Credit decisions are often based on historical financial statements and credit reports, which may not accurately reflect a company's current financial health. This reliance on outdated information can lead to misinformed decisions, where businesses either receive more credit than they can handle or are unjustly denied the credit they need to grow.
Manual Processes Collecting, verifying, and analysing data manually is time-consuming, prone to errors, and can lead to delays in decision-making. This inefficiency not only slows down the approval process but also increases operational costs and the likelihood of human error.
Human Bias and Inconsistency Subjective judgement and personal biases can influence credit assessments, leading to inconsistencies and potentially disparate outcomes. Different credit officers might interpret the same data differently, resulting in varied credit limits and terms for similar businesses.
Lack of Real-Time Monitoring Traditional methods often lack the ability to monitor credit risk in real-time, making it challenging to identify and address emerging risks promptly. Without real-time monitoring, businesses may face financial difficulties before any warning signs are detected.
Numarqe's AI-driven credit risk intelligence platform, which we affectionately named ATHENA (Adaptive Transaction Heuristics with Enhanced Neural Assessment), addresses these challenges head-on, providing a comprehensive and innovative solution for corporate credit underwriting.
Real-Time Data Analysis Numarqe's platform leverages advanced machine learning algorithms to continuously analyse various data points (assets), including transaction history, spending behaviour, patterns, and external financial data such as accounting and credit agency reports. This real-time analysis provides up-to-date insights into a company's financial health and creditworthiness.
Predictive Modelling Using historical data and identifying patterns, Numarqe ATHENA's AI models can predict future credit behaviour, enabling proactive risk management and informed lending decisions. By anticipating potential risks and opportunities, businesses can plan more effectively and avoid financial pitfalls.
Automated Underwriting Numarqe's platform automates the underwriting process, reducing the need for manual data collection and minimising human bias. This leads to faster decision-making and a more consistent assessment of creditworthiness. Automation also frees up valuable time, allowing Numarqe to be lean and focus this time on customers.
Enhanced Portfolio Monitoring The platform continuously monitors the credit risk of a portfolio of corporate customers, providing early warning signals of potential risks that can be investigated with the customer and enabling timely interventions to mitigate losses. This proactive approach ensures businesses can address issues before they escalate, preserving their financial stability.
Personalised Credit Limits Numarqe's AI-driven engine can dynamically adjust credit limits based on individual customer behaviour and risk profiles, ensuring businesses can access the credit when needed. When customers need further credit, decisions can be made quickly compared to traditional credit providers' long lead times. This flexibility helps businesses manage their cash flow more effectively and seize growth opportunities as they arise.
