Partner Webinar Apr 19: Data and AI driving diversity in SME Lending

SME Finance Forum | April 18, 2023

Considerable cultural, economic, and regulatory differences exist around the world that affect accessibility to capital and in particular the opportunity for women and those underserved to launch and grow thriving businesses. Therefore, it should be no surprise that effective solutions to overcome these challenges are best formulated with particular attention to these differences that are unique to each country, lender, borrowers, and loan type.

While the challenges may be unique for each lender, there is good news. The process for diagnosis and treatment is highly codified, scientific, reproducible to virtually any market and lender in a way that delivers high performance and regulatory compliance.
