“After working on a data management platform for connected cars, I was drawn to Informed.IQ by their amazing product: An AI-driven solution to help minimize the amount of time and effort it takes for a car buyer to secure a loan. I’ve spent a lot of time building technologies to pull the car industry into the future, and Informed.IQ is transforming the way auto finance does business,” said Mr. Lenkov.
Informed.IQ’s technology goes beyond image recognition and confirmation of information within the document. The software can compare buyer data against a database of 35 million records, which allows Informed.IQ to check many datapoints. Some of this data can include comparing paystubs against a database of fraudulent templates, checking that the buyer’s income is comparable to others in their profession and geography as well as interpreting 401K withholdings or earned overtime, which are indications that the borrower will be a responsible lender. All of this analysis and more is done in a matter of seconds. In addition to providing real-time straight through processing capabilities, Informed.IQ enables lenders to comply with regulatory requirements and be audit-ready, since all loan processing is done in a precise and uniform way through the AI software.
