How Beforepay’s AI model drives strong returns

Beforepay Group Ltd Finance Manager Shreya Prakash talked with Proactive about the company’s dual focus on domestic consumer lending and enterprise software through its Carrington Labs division. She explained that Beforepay’s core product—a pay advance offering—provides short-term loans with a fixed 5% fee and no hidden costs, aiming to support Australians with transparent and ethical lending. Prakash said, “The most common reason people borrow from us is not because they want to go for a vacation... but to tide them over that short-term cash flow pinch.” She highlighted that this flagship product, launched in 2020, remains central to the business and differentiates itself through its ethical model and efficient cost structure. Carrington Labs, the company’s AI and analytics arm, is productising the risk models that power Beforepay and expanding operations in the US. Prakash noted that the company is writing around 40,000 loans with just 50 staff, underlining a strong operational efficiency. Billy Cheung, also from the finance team, added that Beforepay became profitable in the first half of FY23. He reported revenue approaching A$20 million and net profit of A$2.8 million in H1 FY25. Notably, the company reduced net defaults from around 3% to just 1.1%, attributing this to improved credit risk models. Cheung also mentioned growth in personal loan offerings and continued investment into Carrington Labs. While Beforepay’s main focus remains on the Australian market, the company is actively expanding Carrington Labs internationally, particularly in the US.

St George Mining unveils major JORC resource

St George Mining Ltd executive chairman John Prineas talked with Proactive about the company's newly announced maiden JORC resource, which he says could be among the world’s most significant niobium and rare earth deposits. Prineas said the deposit features over 500 intercepts of high-grade mineralisation and boasts a rare combination of high grades and shallow mineralisation starting at surface, supporting an open pit development. “We think, possibly the second highest niobium deposit in terms of grade and, probably one of the highest rare earth deposits,” he told Proactive. He confirmed the company has already seen interest from industry players, with some expressing interest in potential partnerships and even mergers. The resource was released following St George’s acquisition of the project in late February, and the company has committed to a drill program starting in the coming weeks. According to Prineas, this program could potentially double the existing resource. In Brazil, St George has assembled an experienced in-country team and engaged a global EPC contractor to progress mine development. The company has also begun metallurgical and downstream processing studies and believes the project will deliver a commercial-grade product, supported by decades of similar production by neighbours CBMM. 👉 For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Abacus Global Management CEO on 2024 highlights and 2025 targets

Abacus Global Management (NASDAQ:ABL) CEO Jay Jackson takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s strong financial performance in 2024 and its strategic outlook for 2025. The pioneering alternative asset manager reported 69% year-over-year revenue growth for 2024, with the fourth quarter alone seeing a 40% increase. Jackson noted that 2023 was already a record year, and 2024 surpassed that benchmark by over 50%. The company has issued guidance for 2025 that anticipates adjusted net income to rise by between 51% and 68%, driven by continued demand for non-correlated assets. Founded over 20 years ago, Abacus recently rebranded from Abacus Life to better reflect its identity as an alternative asset manager. Jackson explained, “We're an asset manager... and we also own a large institutional asset manager in Luxembourg,” underlining the firm’s expanding global footprint. Growth drivers include strategic acquisitions, expansion of its financial advisor channel, and development in its technology division. Jackson emphasized the role of AI in analyzing health and lifespan data to support financial planning, stating, “Think about the billion scenarios in someone's lifespan… AI helps us understand more accurate outcomes.” Jackson believes 2025 will bring increasing attention to the firm’s asset management operations, complementing its origination and technology capabilities.
