Scienaptic AI, a leading global provider of AI-powered credit underwriting platforms, announced today that South Carolina-based Carolina Foothills Federal Credit Union (CFFCU), serving over 19,000 members, has selected its platform to expand credit access for their members. Scienaptic’s regulatory-compliant AI platform will enable CFFCU to make sharper risk predictions, automate decisions, and offer more inclusive lending to its members.

Carolina Foothills Federal Credit Union, founded in 1960 by US Postal Service employees, has grown to serve over 19,000 members across Upstate South Carolina. CFFCU embraces the credit union motto, “Not for profit. Not for charity. But for service.” This philosophy is evident in their strong, member-centered service and their commitment to providing vital financial tools. In 2015, CFFCU became a certified Community Development Financial Institution and was awarded a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Treasury to better serve members of modest means. To date, they have received more than $7 million in federal grants to serve low-income target markets.

“We provide vital financial tools for members to save and borrow; but more importantly, to belong,” said Scott Weaver, President and CEO at Carolina Foothills Federal Credit Union. "Deploying the Scienaptic AI platform seamlessly aligns with this mission, allowing us to serve members with even greater efficiency and personalization. This means faster loan approvals, financial inclusion, fair lending, and ultimately, a more fulfilling financial journey for our members.”

“At Scienaptic AI, we believe in the power of human potential, and that fuels our own mission to empower members through technology,” said Pankaj Jain, Co-founder and President. “We are deeply honored that Carolina Foothills Federal Credit Union, an institution driven by service, has entrusted us to help further their mission of financial inclusion. Our cutting-edge AI platform will not only streamline CFFCU’s underwriting process, leading to faster approvals and increased efficiency, but it will also ensure fair and transparent lending practices, minimizing risk and broadening access to credit for their dynamic community. We are excited to embark on this journey with CFFCU and contribute to their vision of a more financially empowered future for all.”
