We are glad to partner with EBO, one of the most trusted and leading names in the industry.

Dr. Gege Gatt, Founder and CEO of EBO stated, “We are delighted to enter into this strategic global relationship with Cedar Rose. At EBO we believe the benefit of AI should be available to all companies irrespective of size. Our goal is to deliver meaningful outcomes by helping businesses automate repetitive processes. Therefore, by combining our Virtual Agents with Cedar Rose’s credit and compliance solutions, enterprises will gain the right tools to meet their compliance requirements while improving customer experience and delivering cost-efficient productivity gains.”

Explaining the process, Antoun said, “Taking onboarding of a customer in a bank as an example: The client will connect to the website and start an application with the bank. The user will submit their information using the EBO Virtual Agent (via live chat) and the bank will verify the personal information in the back end using Cedar Rose data (e.g., KYC, credit checks, compliance checks). This will all happen in real-time so if there are any issues with the information submitted by the client, the EBO Virtual Agent will be able to notify the client instantly so they can rectify the issue immediately. With these two solutions combined (EBO Virtual Agent and Cedar Rose data), we will be able to accelerate the onboarding process which is a common pain point for many businesses across many industries.”
