Our take
The traditional consumer lending system is widely regarded as inefficient and can limit a lender’s ability to evaluate credit applications. Pagaya Investments is disrupting this system: its platform uses comprehensive learning insights to offer better assessments and more accurate credit evaluations. This allows its customers to rapidly scale their services while reducing the risk of defaults or fraud.
Since its launch, the company has grown significantly, managing billions in assets for a diverse range of clients, including banks, insurance companies, pension funds, asset managers, and private health funds. Major enterprises like Visa, Avant, and SofdFi utilize Pagaya's AI evaluation to extend credit to underserved customers, achieving levels of speed and accuracy that traditional methods cannot match.
Pagaya has continued to enter new markets each year, having begun with personal loans and then expanding into auto loans and real estate. This is demonstrative of the company's ability to scale across markets, and it is now focused on increasing the adoption of its technology by large banks and auto lenders.
