Kevin Tham, PhD’s daughters recently gave our RDC whiteboards a much-needed break from all the complex AI and lending jargon, filling them instead with some brilliant artwork! From a majestic pharaoh to Daffy Duck, Minions, Snoopy, Garfield, and more, our whiteboard has never looked so colourful and fun. Sometimes, a fresh perspective (and a few cartoon characters) is all you need to remind yourself that creativity takes many forms. Here’s to our youngest "team members" for adding some joy and whimsy to our workspace! Have your whiteboards been "reclaimed" by the kids at home? Share your stories below—we’d love to hear them! 🖌️✨ #LifeAtRDC #ArtistsAtWork #Creativity #WorkplaceJoy

A moment of pride for RDC as our CEO, Ada Guan, last night stood among some of the most innovative minds in #AI at the AmCham Australia Alliance Awards Gala. Just eight years ago, RDC started as an ambitious Australian startup, driven by a vision to reshape lending through AI. Today, that vision has propelled us across continents, including a major milestone this year with our first U.S. partnership with M&T Bank. This nomination celebrates not just our achievements but also the continued support of our investors, partners, and customers who are integral to our journey. A very big congratulations to Simon Lucey for his win in the AI category, and thank you to AmCham for this recognition.
