Lending Considerations During a Global Pandemic

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has presented the world with unprecedented challenges and new norms to adapt to workforces going completely virtual and digital, little to zero travel, and significant uncertainty for small businesses. What happens when the government stimulus runs out?

Businesses are engaging in insolvent trading with virtual immunity from legal action, according to the peak body representing Australia's insolvency practitioners.

Now more than ever it is critical that companies understand their risks when it comes to lending and outline a strategy for lending in the COVID-19 environment. Response and execution will be critical for financial institutions and H2O.ai believes the way to do that is with AI and machine learning.

Given the rate at which lenders are taking on and creating new loans, it is more important than ever to deploy the best methods to determine how likely a borrower might be to default on these loans.

In this virtual meetup, we will go over a new set of AI apps developed by combining the H2O Q and Driverless AI platforms together to bring automated insights and automated machine learning to sets of business problems.

Speaker: James Orton and Chetan Ganjihal, H2O.ai
