As a customer-facing fintech company, Earnin has access to various types of valuable customer data, from bank transactions to GPS location. Leveraging cutting-edge machine learning models with these datasets enables highly impactful, smarter business decisions. However, the business impact and user experience highly depend on what models are being built and how they are being used. Meanwhile, robustness and scalability are also important factors for applications.
Ji Peng shares how Earnin uses unique datasets to build machine learning models and navigates the challenges of prioritizing and applying machine learning in the fintech domain.
