Deployment aims to improve loan approval rate and automate decisions

Leading global AI-powered credit decision platform provider Scienaptic AI announced today that Southwest Louisiana Credit Union has selected its platform for automated and enhanced credit decisioning.

Southwest Louisiana Credit Union, formerly known as PPG Employees Credit Union, was established in 1952 as a response to banking bureaucracy. The cornerstone of its philosophy lies in helping people and providing financial empowerment for all, and through its diverse programs, Southwest Louisiana Credit Union helps community members achieve their financial goals. Headquartered in Lake Charles, La., the credit union serves more than 16,000 members and works relentlessly to eradicate poverty in Southwest Louisiana, providing a host of financial services like advanced loans at lower interest rates, $mart Rewards Checking, savings accounts and insurance. By partnering with Scienaptic’s AI-based loan decisioning platform, Southwest Louisiana Credit Union will be able to provide better financial assistance through faster and improved access to credit to more community members.

“In the past two years, our asset size has grown from $100 million to $154 million, and our young and energetic team is using this momentum to help more members attain financial independence,” said Chad Miller, CEO of Southwest Louisiana Credit Union. “Our partnership with Scienaptic AI comes at an exciting point in our journey. Their AI-powered loan decisioning platform will help us increase our loan approval rates and make faster decisions, which will enhance credit experience and credit access for the underserved members of our community.
