The Quarterly Review: Current’s CTO Trevor Marshall reports on Model-Driven Success

Notes from the desk: Hello and welcome to The Quarterly Review, where I dive into what executives from some of the best brands in financial services are focusing on in this quarter. In the last year, we have surveyed executives from both banks and fintechs about their intentions and goals for the year.
With the new year, I am excited to bring you another “review” in this series. It’s where we compare the exec’s goals with results and see how well his plans stood the test of time.

Our review articles in this series are an exclusive offering for our TS PRO subscribers. If you want to dive into the juicy stuff and read the details of their labors and fruits —beyond the executive summary below— please consider becoming a TS PRO subscriber.


In this edition we will check back in with Current’s CTO, Trevor Marshall.

Executive Summary

In September of last year, I sat down with Current’s CTO Trevor Marshall to speak about his plans for the rest of 2024. At the time, Marshall was completely focused on continuing to drive the firm’s momentum, as well as optimizing the firm’s underlying technology infrastructure.

In this new year, Marshall is back to report how the firm has done a deep dive into model improvement to reap significant product and performance benefits: 

 i) By focusing on model-driven deployment of features, Current was able to improve the value it delivers to consumers that use its Paycheck Advance. Recently, the firm made it possible for more customers to be approved for the product as well as increase the amount they are able to take home. 

ii) In the transaction risk detection space, Current has been able to improve its AI models through heuristic deployment to significantly improve its model’s performance and curtail the risk of third party fraud.
