Behavioural AI for Student Finance

Predict academic success and loan repayment using AI-powered behavioural assessment technology

Science-Backed Behavioral Psychology

Leveraging 10+ years of longitudinal classroom data and career/job fit algorithms.

AI Powered Assessment and Prediction

Assessing likelihood to repay loans, course completion, and future earning potential.

For Thin-File, No Credit History Applicants

Serving people with no credit history through inclusive, ethical, and dynamic methods.

Many academically capable young people are excluded from higher education because they fall into the "missing middle" or have too little credit history for lenders to assess risk.

Our predictive models help lenders reduce defaults, HEIs reduce dropout rates, and students get matched to the right programs from day one.

AXCESSR uses behavioral psychology, AI scoring, and 10+ years of student-outcome data to evaluate course fit, repayment likelihood, course completion, and future earning potential - even for thin-file applicants.
