Hi 5! The top five fintech stories we’re following today

Forget chatbots, here come AI personal assistants

Seems that every bank is working on chatbot technology nowadays. But let's not stop there. Who wouldn't want a proactive personal assistant that helps not just pay bills but decide where I should spend my money? Speaking of AI, it's become table stakes for traders.

With credit tightening, Bizfi doubles down on platform

2016 has been a tough year for many online lenders. Bizfi seems to be rocking and rolling, though. The online lending platform originally started as a balance sheet lender. But a few years in, Bizfi is finding success with its lending partners and a smart distribution and partnership strategy.

Blockchain isn't just for breakfast anymore

But it looks like their expectations are too aggressive.

Credit scoring that's old and new

Online credit scoring doesn't have to be alternative to be innovative. While there seems to be room to change things up, some tech firms are trying to improve existing scoring methodologies, instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water.
