In-house AI monitoring of the Receivable Purchase Program portfolio
VersaBank built AI into its core banking platform to monitor its receivables purchase portfolio continuously
Problem
VersaBank buys receivables from financing partners under its Receivable Purchase Program. The bank's credit model depends on low-risk assets, so it needs to see the state of that portfolio at all times.
Approach
VersaBank's own technology team developed AI capabilities and placed them inside the bank's core banking platform. The bank said it now monitors the whole Receivable Purchase Program portfolio on a continuous basis. It also said it was developing new financing options, including real-time purchase of cash flow streams, which were still in development.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
The bank first applied AI to watching an existing asset book and only then to new products. The release gave no results, so the effect on credit quality is not documented.
