“Financial inclusion is the civil rights issue of our time. It is critical for credit unions to use AI carefully and to partner with service providers that understand all rules and regulations surrounding fair lending and compliant data usage. Zest AI is the only AI lending technology company that I have seen raising the bar for fair lending compliance, using ethically sourced credit data to make transparent, inclusive lending decisions, and sitting alongside each of their partners to ensure they have robust, explainable documentation.” - Rodney E. Hood, Former NCUA Chairman and Zest AI Board Member Hear more from Rodney, champion for financial inclusion and advocate for innovative solutions that bridge the economic divide: https://lnkd.in/gWbwqKQZ #FinancialInclusion #FairLending #AI #Innovation #LendingTech

"The people in this country deserve more than a singular vision of what the American Dream should be. We all have different goals, and we ask to define our own ideas of a successful life. So it’s within these multitudes of dreams that we find a question to answer: how do we, as leaders of the financial services industry, expand access for everyone to pursue better, richer, and fuller lives?" On the Zest AI blog, Mike de Vere dives into a 'better, richer, fuller life' and how equitable access to credit can reshape the United States. https://lnkd.in/d_KJjDwv #EquitableLending #FairLending #FinancialInclusion #FinancialServices #FinTech #AI

“I dream a dream that dreams back at me.” – Toni Morrison As we Zest AI head off for a long weekend to celebrate Independence Day, I've done a lot of reflecting on our nation, which is a nation filled with dreamers. My hope is that we go into this celebration of American independence thinking about all the good we have, and how much more good we can do with the abilities we have. You can read more of my thoughts on our latest blog, and I'd love to hear your dreams for you and your family's future in the comments! https://lnkd.in/e3UttyNW #AmericanDream #financialinclusion #wealthgap #4thofJuly

"Despite some progress, we still live in a country where the environment you grow up in is likely to dictate your access to wealth. Nobody has control of where they come from, but if our country still wants people to believe in the American dream, we need to facilitate access to the most essential and basic building blocks. Without access to financial services, fair credit, regulation to reign in the bad actors, and innovative products and services to provide an alternative, the American dream can never become a reality." Zest AI's Aaron Long stopped by Fast Company to share his insight and observations on 3 things that will close the wealth gap.
