The Future of FinTech
What's Next?
Recent FinTech products have noticeably embraced machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), creating better and better personalized experiences for companies and individuals alike.
Machine Learning
Machine learning is achieved by training and refining the software. Once the software receives a correction, it doesn’t make the same mistake again. Over time, it becomes smarter and less likely to make mistakes. Whether the task is approving loans, managing assets, or assessing risks, machine learning makes the financial industry smarter and more efficient. The Lending sector greatly benefits from machine learning tools.By aggregating a borrower’s financial history, including income and expenses, machine learning can more accurately predict how a borrower will perform, reducing errors and cutting costs in the process.
Artificial Intelligence
In finance, artificial intelligence and machine learning are terms that are sometimes used interchangeably. While the two concepts are closely related, they are not the same. Machine learning is one popular technique for achieving AI results. Tools like Erica, Bank of America’s virtual assistant, apply artificial intelligence to keep customers informed of their monthly spending path, trends in where they are spending money, changes in credit score, and more. This proactive, personalized education allows consumers to live healthier financial lives.
Big Data
Big data describes a large volume of data that is used to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions. FinTech companies are using big data for forecasting and personalization in industries like retail. Amazon uses big data to predict what a customer might buy next while Walgreens used it to predict the demand for hair products based on the weather. The more FinTech companies can leverage big data to create customer-centric experiences, the more likely they are to be successful.
