Artis enables financial institutions to put excess capital to work by generating consumer loan assets with attractive risk-adjusted returns at the point of need via merchants and merchant networks. These merchants become the “face of financing” to the consumer, offering l**** originated by partner financial institutions at the point when the consumer is making a purchasing decision. Its API-based platform uses alternative data sources, complex machine learning, and AI to present custom, real-time loan offers to individual borrowers at the point of making a purchase. This approach helps drive demand for the merchant; extends creative, well-structured financing to the consumer; and generates new revenue sources for participating financial institutions.

Barclay Keith, CEO of Artis Technologies, said, “We’re excited to partner with the team at Primis Bank and we look forward to helping advance their mission to enable better banking by leveraging fintech relationships. Our partnership will provide more consumers the ability to receive financing at the point they need it most. We believe the Primis vision for a digital-focused bank is the future of community banking, and we are thrilled to launch this partnership.”
