Temenos BNPL, which uses patented explainable AI (XAI), can help lenders provide transparency into automated decisions and offer customers credit based on their history, Temenos noted.
It added that XAI allows clients to pre-approve loan applications and offer variable instalments based on pre-determined criteria.
Temenos said its solution helps banks offer BNPL at scale without having to provision new IT infrastructure.
It can be deployed via the Temenos Banking Cloud irrespective of the core banking solution.
