But with the influx of challengers and fintechs, who, thanks to open finance and more agile technology, are able to offer not only highly competitive rates, but also pre-approved products with a guaranteed rate and credit line. This all means that the traditional route to market is becoming less and less popular.\u201d It makes perfect sense, the customers always choose more convenient alternatives, they only need time to find out about them and trust them. As alternative banking is in the mainstream already, we hope more and more FinTech products will offer a wide variety of competitive options, so everybody can benefit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/lending-software-development\/\">alternative lending solutions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <svg class=\"wave\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"280\" height=\"9\" viewBox=\"0 0 280 9\">\n    <path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M0 3.6c2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.824-1.515C7.724 1.108 9.879 0 13.998 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.644.847 2.943 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515C35.72 1.108 37.874 0 41.995 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.824 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515C63.719 1.108 65.873 0 69.993 0c4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.825-1.515C91.715 1.108 93.87 0 97.99 0c4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.645.847 2.945 1.515 5.823 1.515 2.88 0 4.178-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.173-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.055-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.88 0 4.179-.668 5.824-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.274 1.108 8.175 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.826 1.515 2.88 0 4.18-.668 5.826-1.515 1.9-.977 4.054-2.085 8.175-2.085 4.12 0 6.273 1.108 8.174 2.085 1.646.847 2.945 1.515 5.825 1.515 2.881 0 4.18-.668 5.827-1.515 1.9-.977 4.056-2.085 8.176-2.085 4.121 0 6.276 1.108 8.177 2.085 1.646.847 2.946 1.515 5.827 1.515s4.181-.668 5.828-1.515C259.718 1.108 261.873 0 265.995 0c4.121 0 6.275 1.108 8.177 2.084 1.645.848 2.946 1.516 5.828 1.516V9h-.007l-5.252-.793c-1.129-.382-2.056-.848-2.919-1.291-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.827-1.516-2.882 0-4.183.669-5.829 1.516-1.9.977-4.056 2.084-8.177 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.647-.847-2.947-1.516-5.828-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.827 1.516-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.176 2.084-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.175-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.826 1.516c-1.9.977-4.055 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.275-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.945-1.516-5.825-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.174 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.176-2.084-1.644-.847-2.943-1.516-5.823-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.826 1.516-1.9.977-4.054 2.084-8.175 2.084-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.646-.847-2.946-1.516-5.825-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516c-1.9.977-4.053 2.084-8.173 2.084s-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084c-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C90.265 7.893 88.11 9 83.99 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.173-2.084-1.645-.847-2.944-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C62.268 7.893 60.113 9 55.993 9c-4.12 0-6.274-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516-2.88 0-4.18.669-5.825 1.516C34.27 7.893 32.116 9 27.996 9c-4.12 0-6.273-1.107-8.174-2.084-1.645-.847-2.945-1.516-5.824-1.516s-4.179.669-5.824 1.516C7.311 7.359 1.127 8.618 0 9\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/article>\n\n\n<article\n    id=\"fintech-news-block-block_61a0e18dcbb91\"\n    class=\"fintech-news-block block \"\n>\n    <h1 class=\"fintech-news-block-title\">54% of fintech companies with over 5,000 employees have adopted AI<\/h1>\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"column tablet-4 fintech-news-block-image-column\">\n          <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-361x203.jpg\" class=\"attachment-case-study-thumbnail size-case-study-thumbnail\" alt=\"54% of fintech companies with over 5,000 employees have adopted AI\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-361x203.jpg 361w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-110x62.jpg 110w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-178x100.jpg 178w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize-432x243.jpg 432w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/itemize.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"column tablet-8\">\n          <h2 class=\"fintech-news-block-subtitle\">&#8230; and in all serious financial institutions<\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"fintech-news-block-content\">\n        <p>\u201cAI can massively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uktech.news\/ai\/54-of-fintech-companies-with-over-5000-employees-have-adopted-ai-20211117\" rel=\"nofollow\">improve any process that has large data volumes<\/a> and is complex.
