Its primary offering is a cutting-edge predictive pre-payout credit approval tool that utilizes AI and machine learning (ML) techniques. This tool employs socio-demographic and profile-based analysis to evaluate loan application documents, enabling the identification of fraud risks and other potentially suspicious activities before granting credit approval, as per reported by Businesswire.

Additionally, the product features automated transaction monitoring, which outperforms the conventional manual and personalized internal processes that often hinder credit applications within India’s financial services industry.

Commenting on the acquisition, Fraser Gemmell, Chief Executive Officer, of Pepper Advantage said: “The acquisition of Rieom.ai rapidly expands Pepper Advantage’s addressable market in India and represents an AI-driven credit management model we will soon be bringing to additional high-growth countries. It also furthers our suite of cutting-edge technology and allows us to add credit risk analysis to our broader platform, a growing priority in the market since the Reserve Bank of India highlighted rising instances of fraud in its most recent annual report. Our commitment to improving our data and technology capabilities is expanding Pepper Advantage’s client pool from traditional loan originators at financial institutions, to include the fast-growing non-bank lending sector, which is typically more reliant on third-party tech providers that offer plug-and-play solutions.”

Pepper Advantage’s purchase of Rieom.ai signifies a bold move towards entering the Indian market, demonstrating their intent to introduce an AI-based credit management model in other regions like Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Middle East soon. This acquisition also presents substantial prospects for product development as Rieom.ai’s technology becomes integrated into Pepper Advantage’s credit technology platform. This platform provides exclusive data and analytics capabilities, enabling the replacement of outdated credit management methods with a comprehensive solution accessible through APIs.

Mukund Kulkarni, CEO of Pepper Advantage India, said: “India’s macro-economic growth is being propelled by astonishing demographics. India became the world’s most populous country last month, with the population expected to peak at 1.7 billion in the coming years, which would be almost 50% greater than that of China. We expect the credit and financial services markets to expand in line with these demographic trends, with systems growth for loans currently tracking at 20% year-on-year, and retail and MSME disbursement expected to grow at 19% annually for a decade. Such growth means credit providers will need to leverage the data and technology we offer to deliver services efficiently at scale. This technology will drive financial inclusion in India’s rapidly expanding population by assessing creditworthiness without a credit score, which can be a barrier to entry for the unbanked.”
