Prestigious International Awards Program Honors Outstanding Financial Technology Products and Companies

NEW YORK & TEL AVIV--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: PGY) ("Pagaya" or “the Company”), a global technology company delivering artificial intelligence infrastructure for the financial ecosystem, today announced that it has been selected as the recipient of the “Consumer Lending Innovation Award” in the 7th annual FinTech Breakthrough Awards program, which recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global FinTech market today.

Pagaya has developed a unique AI-powered network, connecting its partners – financial services providers that originate assets with the assistance of Pagaya’s technology – to third-party institutional investors, who gain access to consumer credit and real estate assets at scale. More than 25 financial services providers are connected to Pagaya’s network, giving the Company a unique vantage point in the financial ecosystem and an unparalleled data engine on consumer behavior. The Company’s AI technology leverages machine learning and data science to provide a more holistic view of creditworthiness than traditional methods, enabling its partners to approve incremental customers. In challenging liquidity and credit conditions, when originators are tightening underwriting standards, the value of Pagaya’s AI network becomes even more relevant, enabling consistent growth for its partners and investors.

“By connecting to our network, our partners are able to provide enhanced access to financial products and services to their customers, helping create a more inclusive economy," said Ashok Vaswani, President of Pagaya. "We remain focused on the expansion of our network and believe our unique business model allows us to remain nimble during evolving market conditions."
