In 2012, Renaud Laplanche, founder and CEO of Lending Club, joined me on the Tradestreaming Podcast.

Chief Marketing Officer, Scott Sanborn joins me, Zack Miller, on the Tradestreaming Podcast to discuss why investors are flocking to Lending Club and where his business will go in the near future.

Why small businesses hesitate on AI in finance, and how BILL is addressing it

  • Small and midsize businesses want the time and cost savings AI can offer, but hesitate to hand over their financial operations, so BILL built its new AI suite around three pillars: accuracy, control, and security.
  • According to BILL’s Tara Wellington, the company’s own risk platform saw about $1.5 BILLion in potentially risky or mistaken payments last year. For her, that kind of data is what lets the risk agent flag issues at the moment they matter, helping keep operations moving smoothly.
