Proving the Impossible | AI in Banking with Arpit Ratan
<p>“Fintech”, “AI”, “Machine Learning” these terms are becoming more mainstream as days go by. Any average person today understands that the use of these terms in a sentence implies increasing efficiency or bringing about some technological change. However, in some quarters, this is more of a buzzword with little understanding of its application.</p> <p>In this episode, Sandesh talks to Arpit Ratan, co-founder of Signzy, a no-code, banking process automation startup, on what it means to apply AI to banking processes. We talk about how technology is being used to phase out legacy processes in customer onboarding processes and know-your-customer related compliance.</p> <p><strong>Show notes:</strong></p> <ol> <li><a href="https://signzy.com/"><u><strong>Signzy’s website<br> </strong></u></a></li> <li><a href="https://bfsi.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/fintech/signzy-raises-5-4-million-from-arkam-ventures-and-mastercard/78789839"><u><strong>Signzy raises $5.4 million from Arkam Ventures and Mastercard<br> </strong></u></a></li> <li><a href="https://blog.signzy.com/how-we-replaced-humans-in-identity-card-classification-with-our-deep-learning-ai-ae8c6564e338?source=collection_home---2------2-----------------------"><u><strong>Signzy ID Card verification case study<br> </strong></u></a></li> <li><a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/features/signzys-computer-vision-engine-can-process-3-5-million-documents-a-day-banks-are-impressed/articleshow/73025359.cms"><u><strong>Signzy’s computer vision engine can process 3.5 million documents a day.
