A New Era in Credit Risk Management: Leveraging Nontraditional Data and Generative AI to Transform Credit Operations

Date: Thursday, September 25
Time: 1pm CT (2pm ET, 11am PT)

Overview: Traditional B2B credit evaluation methods—rooted in historical payment performance, established creditworthiness, and the absence of adverse public records—can leave organizations exposed to hidden risks. As markets evolve, credit managers and financial leaders are increasingly recognizing the need for deeper, more dynamic insights. The integration of nontraditional credit data provides a broader view of customer risk profiles, while advancements in Generative AI offer powerful tools to accelerate and enhance credit decision-making. This session will explore how forward-thinking credit departments are adopting these innovations to improve accuracy, efficiency, and resilience in credit risk management.

Presenter: Bill Weiss, Sr Director, Industry Practice Lead, Trade Credit (Americas), Moody’s

Learning Objectives
