Commercial Bank International (CBI) has invested in zypl.ai, a fintech startup pioneering the application of generative AI in lending.
The investment includes a post-seed bridge round investment into zypl.ai, alongside a group of global investors, ahead of the company’s planned Series A raise which is due to take place later in 2024.
Having crossed $1 million in annual recurring revenue at more than 20 percent compounded monthly growth rate since the launch of sales, zypl.ai is already operationally break-even.
zypl.ai’s flagship software, zypl.score, enables financial institutions to optimize credit decision models across retail and SME portfolios through the generation of synthetic data. Over 35 banks across 12 markets in Eurasia have deployed zypl.ai’s proprietary AI-as-a-service software, underwriting >$100 million of credit portfolio at minimal default rates.
In addition to global expansion with major financial institutions across continents, the startup is eyeing microfinance in Southeast Asia and credit unions in North America in particular, along with a foray into underwriting in the insurance industry.
