By joining NVIDIA Inception, Wio gains access to advanced developer resources and training, accelerating its mission to redefine banking in the region.
Yannick Jannsen, Acting Chief Technology Officer at Wio Bank PJSC, said: “For us, AI is a part of our growth story, not only for how much more we can achieve with it, but for how it helps people progress and become more empowered and in control of their finances. For us, using AI isn’t a way to save costs, it’s a way to better serve each customer individually, bringing better insights, creating new capabilities for our teams, and simplifying processes by removing the complexities that often hold people back from confidently reaching their financial potential.
“Joining the NVIDIA Inception Program is a pivotal step in scaling our AI capabilities and enhancing how we use them to deliver smarter lending options for SMEs and more personalized, intuitive insights for all our customers.”
