Bahamian firm unveils first AI-powered loan officer

A Bahamian financial services provider introduced what it claims to be the world’s first AI-powered humanoid loan officer on Tuesday. Named Evelyn Phylistina, or “Evie,” the innovative robot marks a major step forward in integrating artificial intelligence into financial services.

Robert Pantry, the founder and CEO of Simplified Group of Companies, revealed that the company has been incorporating AI into its operations for the past two years. Evie, he explained, will streamline the client experience by making the process more efficient and user-friendly.

Evie and other humanoid robots will be available through the group’s technology division, Simplified Tech, offering customers an entirely new way to interact with financial services.

“Simplified Lending has made significant strides in AI automation, leading to new opportunities as a group and the creation of Simplified Tech. Simplified Tech will be dedicated to providing humanoid robots and AI solutions for businesses and individual consumers, both in The Bahamas and internationally,” Pantry said.

“We believe Evie is just the beginning of what’s possible. While still in beta testing, she represents the future of financial services and the future of business in general. We believe that AI-driven humanoid robots will impact every industry in the years as the technology advances,” added Pantry.
