Nobel-winning economist Paul Samuelson had once quipped that Wall Street had predicted nine out of the last five recessions. While the markets may be touted as cautiously pessimistic, it is evident that we are on the cusp of an economic downturn.


The use of AI in credit decisioning can be a game changer for credit unions looking to support their members, especially in light of recessionary trends. Instead of tightening their belts, credit unions can use AI to tighten their underwriting. Through the use of AI, credit unions can provide members with fast access to credit, customized loan options, and transparent and inclusive credit decisions.

But this transition to AI requires careful planning. We must understand and learn from the experiences of risk leaders so that we can take this evolution to fruition.


In this webinar, we bring you perspectives from seasoned risk leaders on how to make this transition. We will cover the following:

  • Creating a sustainable, recession-resistant lending toolkit

  • AI-enabled fair, transparent lending for enhanced customer relationships

  • Differentiating between credit-worthy members in need vs. high-risk ones

  • Building early warning systems

  • Help realign risk strategies as per the changing economic climate
