Aire algorithmically generates a score factoring in the character and capacity of applicants by leveraging machine learning to emulate the power of human intelligence. This helps to supplement the thin credit history of applicants such as young adults, the self-employed or those who have recently moved country. In the coming years this will become a vital pillar for the economy as people and jobs become ever more mobile. The traditional financial system has struggled to understand these consumers and they are often discounted when they apply for financial products.

Co-founder and CEO of Aire, Aneesh Varma comments: "It's a huge step for us and also for credit scoring. We strongly believe that lenders and their customers need a fairer and more accurate way to assess creditworthiness. That means credit scores need to be more relevant to how we live and work today. Many of us will end up being mobile or self-employed which the current credit risk-scoring system will have to recognise. What feels like the fringes today will become the norm tomorrow.

"As things stand, genuine hard-working people are being penalised by the way credit scores are created, that's not good for growth, innovation or wellbeing.
"We believe we have a solution to address this issue, balancing the numerous forces at play across data, ethics, regulation and technology."

Aire will work with a select number of lending partners in each category. The company is currently focused on partnerships with lenders in personal loans and credit cards but has plans to expand to broader financial products.
With existing client engagements across the globe, Aire operates out of London where it continues to bring on board researchers, data scientists and industry experts.
People who are interested in getting ahead of the curve can join an early access invite list on the company website.
