Tongdun International Pte. Ltd., a risk management service provider, has recently partnered with Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) to deliver a faster, automated lending process and an optimized credit scoring model for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
By shortening the turnaround time for business loan applications, the engagement seeks to provide SMEs better access to financing services and further improve customers’ experience. The memorandum of understanding signed by the two parties also covers the provision of solutions and services by Tongdun toward developing an agile decision-making process for credit cards, unsecured lending and microfinance for BPI.
Tongdun Technology Co-Founder and Partner Jackal Ma expressed his enthusiasm in working with BPI to deliver enriched and secure banking services to Filipinos. “As a leading fintech risk management company, Tongdun can tap into years of experience working with financial institutions and various industries to help BPI in its digital transformation journey. With insights gained from working with more than 10,000 companies across many industries worldwide, we look forward to enabling BPI to improve banking services and security for its customers across the Philippines,” Ma said.
Tongdun and BPI will work out further collaborative efforts and develop a formal corporate relationship upon the completion of both short- and medium-term projects.
BPI Business Banking Head Junie Veloso said, “We believe that through the use of artificial intelligence solutions such as the one provided by Tongdun, we can optimize our processes for the benefit of more clients. As part of our enterprise-wide digital transformation, we believe that more secure and efficient digital processes and tools will help us achieve sustainable growth and accelerate financial inclusion for more Filipinos. All these will allow us to serve more clients faster while managing our risks better.”
