Bob Metodiev, head of business development at Inovatec Systems, a provider of cloud-based software solutions for lenders, will serve as moderator of the “Next-Gen Lending and Payments” panel taking place at the Mobile Payments Conference. The event will be held Aug. 23-25 at the Westin Atlanta Perimeter North Hotel and Conference Center in Atlanta. Metodiev’s session is slated for Aug. 24 at 4:25 p.m. ET.

During the panel, Metodiev will lead a discussion exploring the impact of artificial intelligence and automation on the automotive and power sports consumer markets. The panel will also describe how intelligent outsourcing and workflow payment optimization can help lenders improve receivables and control costs, and how the process of selecting vendors and partners has evolved.

In addition to this session, Inovatec will present an onstage demo during the conference’s exhibition hours. Metodiev and Vlad Kovacevic, co-founder and CEO of Inovatec, will be present throughout the conference to describe how the company’s integrated loan origination system, loan management system and customer-facing portal enable lenders to improve the efficiency of their entire lending operation. For additional demos, Inovatec will be located at table 23 at the event.

“We look forward to discussing the emerging developments in lending technology and how this intersects with payments at the Mobile Payments Conference,” Metodiev said. “The pace of innovation in lending is constant, and we expect there will be strong interest in how automation, AI and other emerging tools can help lenders and financial services companies become more competitive, more compliant and more efficient.”
