On March 31, SME Banking Club, together with efcom, organized a webinar on the topic of Applied Artificial Intelligence in factoring.
Federico Avellán Borgmeyer (CPO at efcom) started his presentation with a famous quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “In the future, companies will be segmented between the ones that master artificial intelligence and the ones that don’t”. Then Federico Avellán Borgmeyer noted that nowadays digitalization, artificial intelligence, as well as machine learning play a significant role in the modern world. All these aspects accompany business cases during the last 5-10 years. These changes have become possible because of the development of the internet, as well as computing power. In addition, the pandemic brought changes in favor of digitalization not only in business points but also in private.
How Artificial Intelligence is used in finance:
- anti-money laundering

Then Federico presented a use case, together with the demo demonstrations, of matching payments to invoices, and gave reasons why it should be automated and should be automated in a smart way with the usage of AI.
