Leading global AI-powered credit decision platform provider, Scienaptic AI announced today that On the Road Lending has chosen its AI-based underwriting platform to automate and streamline its credit decisioning and expand its customer base.

Founded in 2013, On the Road Lending is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides vehicle selection assistance and long-term financial mentoring to low-income individuals and families to overcome transportation barriers so they can get to work, lead healthier lives, and avoid predatory lending.

By using Scienaptic’s AI-powered loan decisioning platform, the auto lender aims to offer affordable credit to subprime and deep subprime borrowers.

A borrower is more than just their credit bureau score, and Scienaptic helps us get to know borrowers in greater depth. Through the platform, we will be able to grow our volume, test strategies, and maintain our ability to provide affordable loans to customers without adding more risk.”

Correspondingly, Pankaj Jain, president of Scienaptic AI said, “We are thrilled that On the Road Lending has chosen our platform to streamline its credit decisioning.
