Since the founding of FairPlay AI, our thesis has been that, contrary to conventional wisdom, fairness could be a competitive advantage for lenders.

Turns out, we’re not the only ones with that view.

Today, I’m delighted to welcome Upgrade, Inc. as the newest member of the Fairness-as-a-Service movement.

We’re delighted to be working with Renaud Laplanche, Tom Curran, M. Reaz, Anna Roubos and the rest of Upgrade’s stellar team to embed fairness monitoring across their portfolio of lending products.

We’ll have more announcements in the weeks to come.

Interested in what FairPlay can do for your business?  DM me for a demo.
