Lending with AI-Search: From Query to Approval in Minutes (UAE Edition)
Borrowers aren't comparing rates. AI is recommending who to borrow from.
Hi there ,
In this edition, we reveal how AI-Search is transforming lending from the borrower’s side, where decisions happen in minutes, not weeks. We’ll show you why borrowers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini which lender to choose before they ever compare a rate sheet or visit a website.
This shift means AI recommendations are capturing intent, shortening approval cycles, and steering high-value borrowers to the lenders who show up first in those results. You’ll get clear, actionable insights on what’s driving instant decisions, which platforms matter most, and how to position your lending brand to win the AI recommendation before competitors even get a click.
