Personetics, the leading global provider of AI-powered personalization used by the world’s top Financial Institutions, announced that it has patented a solution that automatically helps customers intelligently save or invest funds based on their cash flow patterns. “Pay Yourself First” (PYF) addresses a need in the market for customers that have the capacity to set aside savings but seek to do so in a more intelligent and automated manner.
Targeted to mass retail and mass affluent customers with steady income sources, “Pay Yourself First” is an automated self-adjustable financial wellness program that helps customers set aside monies into savings or investment accounts safely and wisely. The program analyzes customers’ capacity to save at each pay period, automatically moving an appropriate amount based on customers’ expected cash flows. Customers set the program to target a desired dollar amount or percentage of income. PYF employs its A.I. algorithms to determine how much to save based on expense patterns until the next income deposit.

Jody Bhagat, Personetics’ President for Americas: “We recognize that consumers are often more conservative in how much they set aside because they may be concerned about covering upcoming expenses, or just busy with other priorities in life rather than optimizing their savings. Personetics’ PYF intelligent algorithms take the guesswork out of setting money aside for saving or investing and acts on behalf of customers. It’s another example of how Personetics is helping Financial Institutions deliver hyper-personalized solutions for their customers, and bringing to reality its vision of Self Driving Finance.”
