Re-Founding Incumbents for the AI Era with Sequence Holdings Co-Founder and CEO Michael Lee

What was said

"What we've done now today is we've built a system that can take take on all consumer loans within the organization. So the average consumer underwriting today has decreased by 94% since we got started in March."

Michael Lee, co-founder and CEO of Sequence Holdings, says that after Sequence became involved with community bank BankSouth in March, the firm built a system to handle the bank’s consumer loans and that “average consumer underwriting” time has fallen by 94% since then. Lee presents this as part of an effort to reduce manual input work and shift underwriters towards exception handling.
