LOS ANGELES, CALIF., Feb. 1, 2022 — PRNewswire — 3Rivers Federal Credit Union, with $1.9 billion in assets and 109,000 members across Indiana and Ohio, today announced it has partnered with Zest AI to deliver faster and better lending across the credit spectrum.

Zest technology enables financial institutions of any size to switch from legacy credit scoring to AI-based underwriting, which uses 10x more data and better math to approve more loans safely and quickly. 3River’s new auto lending and personal loans models will be tailored to its market and trained on years of lending data, giving it a statistical edge over using national scores.  

“We’re proud to partner with a credit union that goes above and beyond to develop meaningful relationships with its members in order to help them achieve their financial goals,” said Mike de Vere, CEO of Zest AI. “AI can be a key tool for 3Rivers to say yes to more members and help their members experience more financial freedom."
