EXTON, PA — Automated Financial Systems rolled out an AI-enabled update to its commercial loan Pricing Dashboard as banks face increasing pressure to defend lending margins and improve pricing consistency amid volatile interest rates and tighter competition for commercial borrowers.
The new release expands the company’s use of embedded artificial intelligence to generate predictive pricing guidance based on historical loan performance and current market conditions, integrating the analysis directly into lender workflows.
Commercial lenders have increasingly adopted AI-driven analytics tools as regional and national banks navigate narrowing spreads, fluctuating funding costs, and heightened competition in middle-market and commercial lending.
AFS Chief Executive Officer Edward Jenkins described artificial intelligence as central to the company’s long-term commercial lending strategy.
“Embedding practical AI to provide actionable pricing insights” is intended to help banks “move faster, compete more effectively, and uncover pricing opportunities that support long-term growth,” Jenkins stated.
The updated platform is designed to analyze structured historical loan data and provide market-informed pricing recommendations intended to support pricing negotiations, approval processes, and internal documentation.
AFS indicated the system is intended to improve consistency across pricing decisions while giving lenders a more standardized framework for negotiating commercial loan terms.
The release reflects broader technology investment across the banking sector, where financial institutions have accelerated spending on AI-driven underwriting, pricing, compliance, and risk-management tools as they seek operational efficiencies and more data-driven lending decisions.
Automated Financial Systems develops commercial lending technology used by financial institutions to manage pricing, risk assessment, and loan origination workflows.
