Thank you Electronic Transactions Association for last week's stellar #fintech #policy forum in #DC. It was great hearing directly from Congressman Bill Foster and Congressman French Hill about what's next on Capitol Hill. Zest AI remains focused on engaging with legislators committed to #AI and advancing conversations on how the federal government can be an engine for #fintech #innovation and #access

It’s that time of year again, and Zest AI is ready to celebrate another year of the credit union movement for the full month. In just a couple of weeks, credit unions around the globe will come together to celebrate International Credit Union Day. This year’s theme reminds us that credit unions are more than just financial institutions — they are essential organizations that serve folks with the intention of seeing them succeed in building a better life for themselves. Let’s celebrate how credit unions stand as beacons of cooperation and inclusion, empowering individuals and fostering stronger communities. Zest's Head of Business Development, Aaron Long shares more on the importance of celebrating International Credit Union Day and creating a world where economic opportunity and financial security are within reach for all! https://lnkd.in/gKZgC4ie #InternationalCreditUnionDay #ICUDay #ICUDay2024 #CreditUnions #CUDifference #FinTech #AI #FairLending #FinancialInclusion

In his latest blog for Zest AI, our Head of Data Science Sean Kamkar runs through the 5 things you need to consider before adding alternative data sources to your toolkit. Improving risk predictiveness and lending insights is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and the technology your institution brings in should recognize and respect that. Read more from Sean and dive into these 5 points to consider here: https://lnkd.in/gzK4-zBj #AI #Lending #FinTech #Lenders #FinancialServices #LendingInsights #AlternativeData
If alternative data is the new black, Zest AI’s been ahead of the trend - Zest AI

The team that eats together…. delivers a seamless event together! Thank you to TruStage Ventures team for hosting credit union, fintech, and partner leaders for #FintechSummit2024 at their incredible Lighthouse building in Madison. Fantastic sessions this week from the top with Terrance Williams and Brian Kaas as well as demos from partners like Clutch with Nicholas Hinrichsen and Jose Valentin at Zest AI (and also a fellow Marine!). Fantastic to catch up with league leaders from across the country and partners helping convene us like Matthew Stanek and Ann Michels, CUDE. Also appreciate state leaders like Iowa’s Katie Averill who is a champion for protecting consumers and also ensuring credit unions can innovate forward. Who says regulators can’t be fun! Thanks for a great summit all! #brighterfinancialfuture #peoplehelpingpeople TruStage GoWest Credit Union Association

Every year Zest AI gives us a day off with pay to volunteer in our community. This year I was able to experience what 6,000 pounds of food looks like and how hard it was to separate by fresh, frozen, dry and canned goods and then to evenly distribute it to the families in need in my community. We are a food desert and huge thanks to the St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Roadrunner Food Bank for the beautiful food we get each month. #peoplehelpingpeople
