The Possibilities
What can the numbers tell you?
What if you could predict how loans will perform, where time is better spent and which opportunities deliver results? What if you could manage margins and optimise returns in challenging markets and changing conditions?
The Challenges
Many talk data.
Few deliver. Here's why.
You need the right data. You need to pinpoint where value can be created. You need a team that understands every aspect of the business. A team who can find solutions that integrate with current systems. And identify key drivers that deliver results.
What is it?
Pepper Analytics.AI is an analytics and prediction engine fueled by people, data and technology. It's a tool that converts numbers from across three continents into powerful and valuable insights. A suite of intelligent applications that predict performance and behaviour of both markets and consumers, and delivers a competitive and scalable advantage.

Solving real world problems
This isn’t the realm of abstract hypothesis or science fiction. This is a real tool that delivers real world solutions.
icon-improving-recovery
Improving recovery
Predict which borrowers are likely to prepay and which are at risk of defaulting. Our retention models identified $1.2m of net interest margin at risk of customers leaving.
icon-predicting-pandemics
Predicting pandemics
Which customers would struggle to pay loans during lockdown? Who would benefit from added support? Novel data was sourced and models deployed within 3 weeks, improving late payments by 70%.
icon-saving-time
Saving time
Using Natural Language Processing tools to review customer calls for compliance saved 6000 work hours per annum.
icon-converting-europe
Converting Europe
When 20% of loan applications did not convert for one European business, we developed machine learning models to analyse the sales processes and recommend fixes. The result was a EU1.1 million increase in NIM.
How do we do it?
Predicting ability to pay
Humans, companies and economies are all complex organisms whose actions may seem puzzling on the surface. But key behaviours can be broadly predictable, if you know which factors to analyse.
data-analytics-predicting-ability-to-pay
Our models use many factors:
Interaction data
Data gathered at each contact point including texts, mails, call transcripts and voice analysis.
Attitude to credit
Public social media and profile information across networks.
Access to credit
Credit market data on competitor pricing and bank proximity as well as public legal, bankruptcy and directorship records.
Assets
Auction and estate agent website data and public records on land and property.
Affordability
Cost of living, rental and childcare data and purchases of vehicles or electronics.
Income potential
Job market, skill sets, qualifications and salary scales.
Income stability
Local economy, employer data industry performance as well as weather, air quality and energy consumption.

A suite of tools
Some may use astrology or crystal balls to predict futures. Our tools are less flamboyant, though no less intriguing. Unlike the mystical forecasters, PepperAnalytics.AI tools have the added virtues of accuracy, transparency and accountability.
