Artificial intelligence (AI) can help a variety of fintech businesses improve their understanding of their clients, automate customer support that can help retain them, detect fraud, and enhance the customer experience. It is asserted that chatbot interactions about banking would significantly rise in the future.
A lot of interest has been generated by the topic of artificial intelligence in the FinTech sector. At a CAGR of 28.6 per cent, the AI in Fintech market size is anticipated to grow to 31.71 billion USD in 2027.
The greatest benefit of artificial intelligence and machine learning is that they enable businesses to perform more individualised outreach to their target market since they have a better grasp of user behaviour thanks to their sophisticated algorithms. FinTech sectors appear to be expanding quickly as they take full advantage of AI's sophisticated consumer behaviour insights.
Additionally, AI is very helpful in the FinTech sector for predicting loan risks. Machine learning plays a significant role in the success of financial corporations that want to grow their company by offering more services.
As a result of reducing financial risk, machine learning can significantly help FinTech companies in loan underwriting. The best aspect is that AI uses sophisticated algorithms to assist businesses in detecting fraud and alerting them to unauthorised or anonymous access. Nevertheless, in addition to what we have already mentioned, there are many more. Let's explore each of the additional justifications for choosing artificial intelligence in more detail.
Reasons to Choose Artificial Intelligence for the Fintech Industry?
AI Strong Competitive Intelligence
In the upcoming three to five years, 82 per cent of traditional financial organisations intend to increase their fintech relationships. It seems unbelievable that the rise of artificial intelligence will turn the business environment inside and out across several industries. Research, analysis, and competitive intelligence are relatively simple tasks made possible by AI. Competitive intelligence is the process of gathering and analysing information about current and potential competitors.
Accurate Results
It is an accepted reality that humans are prone to making mistakes. There are countless monolithic tasks in the FinTech sector that use a lot of bandwidth and only produce faults that have an impact on the final product. Even if there is a risk that errors could occur with artificial intelligence, there is a significant distinction between them and other faults that are made, AI errors hardly ever occur.
So, when using AI-based applications, the outcomes are correct. An AI tool not only saves a significant amount of time and effort but also gives the freedom to be more creative. Currently, individuals have plenty of capacity to broaden their perspective for business success, which they previously applied to tedious chores.
The Investment Process has been Automated
Since technology is constantly evolving, 2023 is the year to embrace sophisticated technology. We have already come a long way, but there is still a long way to go. Many banks have begun actively implementing AI to streamline their investment decision-making process and strengthen their investment banking research. Apart from that many FinTech businesses have gone even further by introducing robot advisers that can help their clients at every stage. By 2023, it is anticipated that robo-advisors would oversee 2.8 trillion USD in assets. These robo-advisers are set up in such an intricate manner that they are unquestionably capable of providing consumers with useful pieces of guidance for the query they submit to them.
Improved Customer Experience
Previously, the banking industry was frequently mocked for its ineffective service delivery due to the absence of cutting-edge technology in the FinTech industries. Due to their slow response times, banking businesses were unable to meet the needs and inquiries of their customers.
However, the situation is no longer the same as AI has substantially helped the FinTech sector's phenomenal growth. Chatbots are one of the most important foundations of artificial intelligence when it comes to technological developments. Particularly, the FinTech sector has benefited greatly from AI chatbots, as seen by its success.
Banks are the most likely to use AI chatbots for conversational reasons. Any time a user tries to contact a bank with a question or problem, that user's problem is documented and a relevant solution is provided. These chatbots are accessible during peak times, and some of them may even be open around the clock if they deal with consumers from all over the world. Therefore, AI chatbots are only one of the world's best technological advancements.
Major Fall in Operational Costs and Risk
Even while AI is establishing itself at a quick rate, some tasks are still carried out by humans, who also have the potential for error. Such errors necessitate a significant investment in terms of time, money, and resources to correct.
However, as artificial intelligence is still developing, one of its cornerstones is RPA (robotic process automation), which painstakingly replicates how tasks are carried out by humans to save time, money, and labour.
Customisation
FinTechorganisations don't have to manually build up their plans thanks to AI and ML approaches. Its highly customised financial products and investment strategies are made with strong security in mind for the target market.
As previously noted, since FinTech businesses have actively embraced artificial intelligence for their company processes, repetitive manual activities have completely disappeared. After a thorough analysis of the data taking into account many aspects, AI is an omnichannel method that gives personalised suggestions (depending on the requirements of every single profile) and then suggests the most appropriate investment plan.
With the implementation of AI, many time-consuming procedures that were previously performed are now completely automated, saving banks and financial institutions a lot of time and the percentage of failed transactions or loan processes is now zero.
