MOGOPLUS readies for A.I. push with Google Cloud Partnership and key Fintech industry hire
Lending ‘insights-as-a-service provider’ MOGOPLUS has strengthened its commercial team with the appointment of Ben ‘Fintech’ Ford (pictured right) as Growth Consultant as it furthers its push into agentic-AI-based solutions for lenders as part of the credit decisioning process.
MOGOPLUS, which specialises in turning complex bank transaction data into meaningful data insights that speed up and improve the accuracy of the lending origination process, has been something of a quiet-achiever in the Australian Fintech ecosystem whilst providing solutions to three of the Big 4 Australian banks.
It recently inked a partnership with Google Cloud to feature its solutions in the ‘Google Cloud Marketplace’ via a self-service portal, in a first for the Australian categorisation-as-a-service / insights segment.
Ben Ford, said of his appointment, “Having been around the bank data and insights space for eight years or more, I’ve seen the good, the bad and the downright ugly – and have documented and analysed a lot of what I’ve seen.
MOGOPLUS has a stellar reputation for the accuracy and integrity of their lending insights solutions, and the fact that their client roster includes three of the Big 4 Australian banks is a testament to this.
The continued development of MOGOPLUS’ AI solutions, the milestone partnership with Google Cloud Marketplace, and the slow-but-steady adoption of Open Banking (including the roll-out to include Non-Bank Lenders) mean we’re at an exciting time in the evolution of lending technology and insights.”
Mike Page (pictured left), CEO of MOGOPLUS, said of the appointment, “Ben’s been in the weeds of data enrichment and lending insights for a number of years, and has deep domain expertise. As the MOGOPLUS business evolves to leverage AI for credit decisioning and other use-cases, it’s essential that we continue to strengthen our team to position ourselves for growth and the opportunities that are continuing to arise.”
