Streamly Snapshot: Leveraging AI for High-Touch Experiences

Personalizing the customer experience has consistently been a hot topic in fintech and banking over the past decade. This persistence suggests that the financial services industry continues to fall short when it comes to providing a high-quality, tailored user experience.

In the past year, we have seen significant promise from AI tools that can integrate personalization into the customer workflow while still maintaining a high-touch user experience. In today’s Streamly Snapshot, Research Analyst David Penn talks with Craig MacLaughlin, CEO at Finalytics.ai and Baron Conway, CSO at Finalytics.ai about the meaning of personalization, how financial institutions stand to gain from it, the role AI is playing in enhancing personalization, and how firms can embark upon their journey of personalization.

“The ability to deliver the high-touch service– something you were able to do on the phone or in the branch– has really been taken away. So we look at the opportunity to use personalization to get back that experience, but deliver it digitally,” said MacLaughlin. “We’re basically giving community FIs the ability to deliver the same experiences that mega brands are able to do in the digital channel.”

“So to build upon that,” added Conway, “from an institution’s perspective, it enables them, in the digital channel, to build closer relationships, build more loyalty, and– crucially– drive more product sales. Because, if you give someone what they’re looking for, they’re more likely to engage, and purchase, and come back for more.”

Finalytics.ai seeks to help community banks and credit unions compete with larger organizations by helping them personalize the customer journey. The California-based company leverages AI along with real-time data analytics to help drive growth, loyalty, and operational efficiencies.

By blending personalization and innovation, Finalytics.ai helps its financial institution clients meet the evolving needs of their customers in today’s competitive landscape.

Talking ‘Bout My Generation: Meet Five of Finovate’s Newest, Youngest Startups

Talking ‘Bout My Generation: Meet Five of Finovate’s Newest, Youngest Startups

Our New Startup Highlight, launched this spring, gives us an opportunity to showcase lesser known fintech innovators that might otherwise fly under the radar.

This week, we feature five such companies — all of whom are both recent Finovate alums as well as being founded within the past year or so. Special congratulations to Dbilia and Proptee, two startups barely a year old that nevertheless wowed our Finovate audiences this year, earning Best of Show trophies in their Finovate debuts.

FinovateEurope’s Youngest Startups

  • Founded last year and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Dbilia leverages blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to provide a digital marketplace for collectables and memorabilia. The company won Best of Show at FinovateEurope for its demo of its marketplace, as well as its demonstration of NFT creation, automatic NFT collection storage, and NFT shop setup. Dbilia was founded by Everett Kohl, who is the company’s CEO.
  • Less than one year old, Proptee made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope in March, demonstrating its commission, property stock exchange. Proptee enables investors to buy and sell shares in real estate that is listed by property owners on its platform. The technology, which helped the company earn Best of Show honors at FinovateEurope in March, combines the liquidity and transparency of the stock market with the stability of real estate investment. Proptee was co-founded by Benedek Toth (CEO) and Alexandru Rosianu (CTO) and is based in London, U.K.

Three Startups from FinovateSpring

  • An insights platform that helps financial services companies and other organizations optimize for financial health, Attune demoed its technology at FinovateSpring earlier this month. The company, founded in January 2020 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, offers firms a robust assessment tool that measures the financial health of both individuals and populations over time. The solution then leverages nationally-representative, longitudinal benchmarks to help clients understand and operationalize the results. John Thompson is President.
  • Giving community financial institutions the kind of real-time visibility into client data that larger institutions have is the mission of San Mateo, California-based Finalytics.AI. Launched in January of 2020, Finalytics.AI made its Finovate debut at FinovateSpring. At the conference, the company showed how its platform leverages machine learning dynamic segmentation, and dynamic content creation to help community-based FIs better understand and serve their customers.
