Corridor Platforms

Describe your innovation.

Built by a team of seasoned risk professionals, RiskDecisioning.AI (RD.ai) addresses the critical need for speed, innovation, and governance in financial decision-making, transforming how FIs experiment, deploy, and iterate on analytics in today’s fast-paced digital era. RD.ai by Corridor Platforms is an end-to-end decisioning platform designed to empower financial institutions with cutting-edge AI and big data technologies on a highly automated and governed analytical platform.

What opportunity or challenge does it address?

Mid-market FIs face significant challenges when competing against Tier 1 FIs or aggressive fintechs for digital loan applicants. Tier 1 FIs, equipped with advanced digital capabilities and cutting-edge decisioning systems, often outperform mid-market FIs in member acquisition, marketing, and retention.

With consumers now expecting instant, seamless, and highly personalized experiences, banks and credit unions must leverage vast amounts of data on current and prospective members in real-time. However, the same data is equally accessible to competitors. This creates a critical disadvantage for mid-market FIs, which are often constrained by outdated systems, fragmented data, and limited decisioning capabilities. These limitations leave them struggling to compete effectively with Tier 1 banks and fintech disruptors already leading in personalized, data-driven decisioning.

This inability to deliver best-in-class decisioning results in subpar customer relationships, increased portfolio risk, and the potential loss of valuable members to more agile competitors. Mid-market FIs must move beyond rented point scores and instead build robust in-house capabilities that enable them to make contextually relevant, instant decisions while maintaining compliance with stringent lending laws. That is where RD.AI comes in.

How does it increase member value?

To meet the growing expectations of today’s members, credit unions must deliver instant, personalized decisions that align with their unique needs. Corridor Platforms enables credit unions to provide real-time decision actions that offer contextually relevant solutions across the member lifecycle — whether it’s acquisition, marketing, or portfolio and loss management.

By automating decisioning with over 85% efficiency, credit unions can offer seamless, personalized experiences with speed while maintaining compliance. This empowers credit unions to provide faster approvals, point-of-sale financing, real-time credit limit adjustments, etc., while also proactively managing and monitoring risks. With this solution, members experience a more responsive, member-centric approach to their financial needs.

What differentiates this innovation from competitors?

RiskDecisoning.AI is a full-stack decisioning platform that extends beyond scoring to deliver end-to-end decision actions. Key differentiators include:

• End-to-End Decisioning: RD.AI enables AI-driven decision actions across the entire portfolio: consumer and commercial lending, including dynamic pricing and contextual offers, driving higher applicant uptake and deposit product pricing. It optimizes the entire member lifecycle—acquisition, portfolio management, marketing, and loss management to maximize long-term customer value.

• Integration Flexibility: RD.AI seamlessly integrates with bureau scores (e.g., Transunion, Zest.ai, Scienaptic) while offering proprietary & in-house decisioning capabilities.

• Post-Production Monitoring & Refinement: Automated dashboards to track performance and trigger alerts if models underperform — creating a continuous improvement loop.

• Whitebox Transparency: Unlike black box score providers, RD.AI grants CUs full access to decision logic, enabling internal capability building and ensuring compliance without vendor dependency.
