FAQs

Questions? We've got you covered.

What are some of the most common ways that banks and lenders use Kizen? Three high-ROI areas:

• Consumer and mortgage lending: Classify, extract, and analyze loan packages in seconds.
• Commercial banking: Turn financial statements into clean, auditable data and monitor covenants at scale.
• Retail and deposit operations: Unify fragmented interactions and speed account opening with AI-assisted document intake.

How is data secured?

• SOC 2 Type 2 controls
• ISO 27001 compliant information security management
• Data encrypted in transit and at rest
• Role-based access control and field-level permissions
• SSO support
• Detailed audit logs for every AI agent action

Does Kizen train models on client data?

No. Kizen never trains on your data. You can use your own LLM accounts or have usage passed through your instance with the correct privacy settings. Either way, your data stays your data.

Can Kizen integrate with legacy banking or lending systems?

Yes. Through secure APIs and SmartConnectors, Kizen connects to core banking, LOS, and CRM platforms, providing real-time data synchronization and process automation without major infrastructure change.

For document extraction, how does exception handling work?

Each extraction includes a confidence score. You set thresholds. Below threshold items are routed to humans for review, with page-level citations and audit trails. Teams can correct and approve in minutes.

Can we deploy in our cloud or on-prem?

Yes. Options include Kizen’s multi-tenant cloud, private cloud, or on-prem. Many clients start in our cloud for speed, then decide if a private deployment is needed.

How do we get set up with Kizen?

There are two paths:

• We build together: Kizen can implement 1 to 4 priority workflows with your SMEs, then train your team to run and expand.
• You build with our support: Use pre-trained agents and low-code tools, and call us when you want help.

How do we get started without a long IT project?

Start small and modular. Many banks begin by automating a single high-value workflow, like loan package intake, account opening, or financial statement extraction, without ripping and replacing core systems. Kizen connects through SFTP, API, or simple file drops, so you can stand up a production workflow in weeks, prove ROI, and expand across departments on your own timeline.
