In the customer’s words

Zest AI brought an incredible amount of data-driven analytics to support our compliance with the Fair Credit Act. We knew we were compliant, but there’s a big difference between saying you’re doing it right and having the documentation that you’re doing it right. Zest gave us incredibly comprehensive reporting and documentation that instilled confidence and lessened the compliance burden, which is huge for smaller credit unions.
