EDOMx partners with finbotsAI

The additional capabilities aim to allow EDOMx to expand its lending services to more customers while decreasing risk, resulting in responsible lending growth while scaling financial inclusion efforts. The company selected finbotsAI after an extensive evaluation of its solution, including a Proof-of-Concept where the fintech built custom scorecards on creditX using EDOMx’s historical data.

According to EDOMx’s officials, utilising AI technology for credit scoring aligns with the company’s mission to provide ethical and inclusive financial services to customers. Through this partnership, EDOMx’s lending service can become more accurate, ultimately benefiting the Kenyan community. Moreover, the collaboration supports the growing demand in Africa for improved technology solutions that enable economic growth and solve legacy issues, while also marking finbotsAI’s entry into Kenya. Currently, finbotsAI’s client base expands to 11 countries across APAC and MEA markets.

EDOMx offers its services in Kenya with plans to expand across Africa and in the US, with its solutions being focused on identifying high-value opportunities and addressing critical challenges by leveraging expertise and collaborations across private, public, and non-profit sectors. With its product FARAJA, EDOMx aims to conduct a shift toward developing comprehensive solutions that fix practical issues by broadening access to digital financial services.
