Taktile’s platform empowers risk functions to make smarter, faster, and more transparent decisions across the customer lifecycle—from credit underwriting and fraud detection to compliance workflows. With the financial sector undergoing a fundamental transformation, Taktile’s work is helping to modernize the decision infrastructure that underpins critical financial services globally.

“The systems we build today will determine how financial decisions are made tomorrow,” said Maik Taro Wehmeyer, Co-Founder and CEO of Taktile. “We’re honored to join the World Economic Forum’s Global Innovators Community and contribute our perspective on how to build infrastructure that’s not only intelligent but adaptable, explainable, and fair.”

As a member of the Global Innovators Community, Taktile will actively engage in multi-stakeholder discussions on:

  • Establishing modern decisioning standards
  • Expanding access to financial services through better infrastructure
  • Fostering responsible adoption of AI and automation
  • Aligning innovation with evolving regulatory frameworks

While AI is a critical enabler in Taktile’s approach, the company’s broader mission centers on empowering financial institutions to own and govern their decision-making processes—reducing engineering bottlenecks, enabling rapid experimentation, and improving transparency across teams.

One example of this in action is Credix, a fintech providing credit access to SMBs in emerging markets. By implementing Taktile and deploying conversational AI agents to automate collections, Credix now resolves 80% of repayment cases autonomously—freeing up human resources for strategic growth and client engagement.

Taktile’s inclusion in the Forum’s community comes amid increasing demand from financial institutions for decisioning systems that combine advanced technology with strong governance. By contributing to the Forum’s initiatives, Taktile aims to support a global transition toward infrastructure that balances speed, accuracy, and trust.

As part of its commitment to advancing this dialogue, Taktile regularly shares applied insights from the field. A recent example—GenAI Applications in Risk Management: 10 Real-World Examples from Industry Frontrunners—explores how leading institutions are operationalizing generative AI in a safe and effective way.
