Revolut has announced the creation of Revolut Research, a new unit dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI), aimed at developing machine learning models. This move is designed to enhance credit risk assessment and fraud prevention, crucial areas for the company's operations in the financial sector.

This unit will be part of the global AI team at Revolut and aims to leverage advanced technologies to optimize business processes. The company believes that the application of AI models will not only mitigate financial risks but also enhance the customer experience.

The models to be developed will include techniques to strengthen security in transactions and manage user accounts. Additionally, the new unit is expected to contribute to the creation of personalized recommendations for clients, thus improving the service offerings provided by Revolut.

Revolut has been expanding its operations in various technological areas, and the new AI unit reflects this strategy. The company is focused on technological innovation and the use of data to position itself in the competitive fintech market.

This announcement was made in a statement released this Tuesday, highlighting the importance of AI in the digital transformation of fintechs, a sector that is constantly evolving and requires increasingly sophisticated solutions. Revolut expects that the new unit will bring significant benefits both internally and for its customers.
