Introducing

We identify the WHY behind the WHAT

of banking behaviors

Harnessing the power of psychology and AI, Motiv8 revolutionizes the way financial institutions evaluate, target, and monetize thin- or zero-file customers.

The Challenge

Digital revolution has taken the world by storm. Yet, 1.7B people continue unbanked, representing billions lost in potential revenue for the financial industry.
LOW APPROVAL RATES
Using superficial metrics only such as income and credit history keeps many good customers out
HIGH DEFAULTS & LEAKAGE
Under current methods, default rates and losses are higher
POOR COMMUNICATION
A lack of nuanced understanding of these customers leads to poor marketing and upselling

Developed in conjunction with world-leading psychology experts, Motiv8’s patented technology combines psychology and AI to create a nuanced and predictive approach to financial behavior.

By identifying the WHY’s behind the WHAT’s, Motiv8AI helps financial institutions make decisions based on applicants’ underlying motivations and predictable financial behaviors.

Rather than replace existing credit data (income, age, gender, credit rate and history), Motiv8AI adds an additional layer of data (personality traits, patterns, behaviors, attitudes, and motivations) and augments institutions’ understanding of potential customers.

Plus, Motiv8AI’s non-traditional approach promotes Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) by enabling financial inclusion for households and small businesses, increasing well being, prosperity, and economic growth.
