2019: Use of artificial intelligence predicting tax account blocking

On December 12, 2019, the Tochka digital bank for entrepreneurs announced the introduction of artificial intelligence, which is able to predict account blocking by the Federal Tax Service (FTS).

If the algorithm determines the probability of blocking at 80% or more, then the client will receive an email warning about this, as well as recommendations that will help avoid problems with the account.

Digital Bank "Tochka" has introduced artificial intelligence that predicts the blocking of the tax account

For example, the bank recommends that you go through a reconciliation with the tax office, check whether the reporting is submitted, whether the receipt of documents from the tax office is confirmed, whether the electronic document management system is connected, if the company has more than 100 employees.

Entrepreneurs at risk are asked to use the available time to correct possible shortcomings. To eliminate the risk of blocking the account, entrepreneurs are given specific advice and sent a checklist.

Artificial intelligence takes into account several thousand factors, including the age of the company or an individual entrepreneur, the presence of account suspensions in the past, certain financial transactions that were most often found in blocked customers, and even the age of the manager.

File:Aquote1.png
Every second entrepreneur at least once faced with blocking an account from the tax office, "says Daria Lipovtseva, product manager at Tochka Bank. - Therefore, we set ourselves the task of learning how to predict account locks and warn the clients of the Point in advance about them. We analyzed the client base, and machine learning specialists helped create an algorithm that predicts the threat of blocking. It is important for us that entrepreneurs are engaged in their business, and not in tax proceedings.

As reported in "Point," you can clarify the presence of debts and pay them in the bank's online accounting department. There you can also get advice from an accountant in order to reduce the threat of account blocking in the future.[5]
