Crowdo, a South East Asian online marketplace for P2P lending and crowdfunding unveiled today its proprietary Artificial Intelligence driven due diligence system, Crowdo ACE, aimed at benefiting both their borrowers and investors. Crowdo ACE takes into account a few thousand unconventional and alternative attributes and represents a new way to perform due diligence versus traditional means used by conventional financial institutions. It has already been applied to process more than 3,000 loans.
“We are happy to announce the arrival of the region’s first AI driven due diligence system, Crowdo ACE that will benefit both the underserved SME borrowers and investors. Crowdo ACE combines both cutting edge technology and our proprietary algorithm to analyze loan applications based on criteria that are tailor fit for each and every one of them,” revealed Crowdo Co-Founder and CEO Leo Shimada. “This technological innovation makes Crowdo a standout in an increasingly crowded alternative financing space where the majority of players are still using basic and rudimentary means of due diligence and loan processing.”
