AI in Credit: What Works in Practice
Credit teams are under pressure to move faster, back better customers, and avoid risk, all with the same time and tools. The real challenge is not lack of data. It’s too much of it, spread everywhere, with no clear signal on what matters. AI is changing that. In this session, Jordan Esbin, CEO and Founder of Credit Pulse, will lead us in a discussion on how teams are using AI in practice. Members will be invited to share what successes and challenges they are experiencing in utilizing AI.
Your Host: Jordan Esbin

Location:
Nova Biomedical
200 Prospect Street, Waltham, MA 02454
Date: June 17, 2026
Discussion Topic:
Universal Commercial Code (UCC Filings)
Guest Presenter:
Alec Papesch, Director of Strategic Partnerships at NCS Credit
About the Guest Presenter
He consults with Credit Associations and Industry Trade Groups nationwide, providing expertise in the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) through the lens of technology-driven solutions.
Description
The UCC is a set of laws concerning commercial transactions, such as the sale of goods. It also covers secured transactions, where a lender gains the right to foreclose on a borrower’s collateral should the borrower default on the loan. In this session, you will learn how UCC filings help you reduce DSO, improve cash flow, and protect your right to repossess equipment or inventory. With security in place, you can confidently extend credit, even to marginal accounts, and unlock new sales opportunities.
About the Best Practices Discussion Group
Unlike traditional credit groups, the NACM Connect East Coast Best Practices Discussion Group is not industry-specific. Your entire company may attend each meeting, including your associates, members of the credit department, and even the CEO of your organization. Any NACM Connect member company is welcome to join the group. Each meeting will discuss best practices, and no specific customers will be mentioned.
About the Group Meetings
Four times each year, the Best Practices Discussion Group will hold a roundtable discussion. Local meetings will be held in various locations throughout the area. We will focus on various credit-related topics relevant to today’s business professional. NACM personnel, a member company, or a guest speaker will facilitate a lunch meeting.
Objectives of the Best Practices Discussion Group
• Determine necessary improvements for your credit and/or accounting departments and organization.
• Analyze how other organizations achieve high-performance levels.
• Use gathered information to enhance your company’s performance.
