Porto Seguro, one of the largest Brazilian insurance companies, today announced that it has selected Brighterion’s (a Mastercard company) AI for Credit Risk solution to improve the customer experience. The solution determines credit risk earlier in the customer lifecycle, identifying those who can be offered higher credit limits. It is the first Brazilian company to use the AI for Credit Risk solution, already known globally.
"We were able to use Porto Seguro's analytical expertise and combine it with our AI technology to build high-performance models. These AI models have enabled Porto Seguro to manage credit risk more effectively while improving the customer experience," says Sudhir Jha, Head of Brighterion and Senior Vice President at Mastercard.
Brighterion’s artificial intelligence and machine learning platform provides decisioning intelligence for key customer applications such as credit risk and transaction fraud for hundreds of billions of events every year. Brighterion develops a custom AI model through a collaborative program, AI Express, using a combination of proprietary tools including its Smart Agents technology.
“This AI model could be run on transactions from any card network” says Ricardo Kaoru Inada, Executive Director of Porto Seguro, which also issues branded credit cards. “Almost 50 percent of potential defaults were identified 70 days in advance in the pilot phase of the project, which helps us increase credit limits for our customers through a more assertive analysis”.
