Case Study: Avant achieves faster, more accurate underwriting with DataRobot

Avant Democratizes Data Science with DataRobot

Avant, an online lending platform that has served more than 600,000 customers and originated over $4 billion in loans, needed to scale its analytics without sacrificing model quality. Avant selected DataRobot, using DataRobot’s Managed AI Cloud (powered by AWS), to give business analysts an easy-to-use interface for building and integrating predictive models across underwriting, marketing response, payment likelihood, and fraud detection.

DataRobot enabled Avant to rapidly build, evaluate, and deploy statistically rigorous models, improving underwriting accuracy compared with traditional risk models and increasing the speed and volume of predictions. The platform freed data scientists to focus on high‑value development, made it simple to test new data sources and push updated models into production, and improved model visibility—helping Avant better align lending decisions with actual consumer behavior.
