SoLo Funds Launches For Enterprises with SoLo NowCAST™, A Real-Time Predictive Analytics Tool For U.S. Inflation
Los Angeles, CA, April 21, 2026 — SoLo Funds, the largest AI-powered community banking solution in the U.S., is announcing today that it has launched for enterprises with the unveiling of SoLo NowCAST™, a real-time consumer prediction engine built on financial behavior that’s designed to anticipate financial trends before the CPI is officially released. At the center of this system is the Consumer Vitality Index (CVI), which, at scale, measures how people actually manage and spend their money, including changes in cash flow, income volatility, repayment timing, discretionary spending, and financial stress. Unlike traditional indicators that look backward, SoLo NowCAST™ focuses on what’s happening right now by using AI trained on multi-year behavioral data to identify patterns and early signs of changes in consumer financial behavior. The CVI can predict the CPI before its official publication.
Consumer spending drives nearly seventy percent of U.S. GDP. Its most watched measure, the CPI, remains the most closely watched economic indicator in the world, guiding financial decisions across enterprises that depend on consumer behavior to forecast, invest, bet, and buy. SoLo NowCAST™ gives its customers an advantage built from over 260 million real transaction events from SoLo’s nearly three million users across a wide range of income levels and geographies. Instead of relying on surveys or limited credit card data, the CVI captures a broader and more accurate picture of consumer financial activity nationwide, including how people prepare to spend, repay, and borrow, not just what they’ve already purchased. This data, in combination, has proven to be an excellent indicator of consumer financial behavior. The CVI is meant to complement by offering a forward-looking view that can help investors, analysts, and institutions make more informed decisions, and better understand the consumer’s spending habits at its core. By predicting how consumers adjust behavior, the CVI captures true economic pressure at its source.
“SoLo Funds is expanding with SoLo NowCAST™ as our first B2B offering,” said Travis Holoway, Co-Founder and CEO of SoLo Funds. “The market waits for CPI. We built a system that sees consumer financial behavior as it happens. The CVI reflects real liquidity, real spending, and real economic behavior. That makes it a powerful early indicator of financial trends.”
“SoLo NowCAST™ shows what happens when AI moves beyond prediction based on opinion and starts learning from real behavior,” said Keroshan Pillay, Head of AI Innovation at SoLo Funds “By training on hundreds of millions of live financial transactions capturing liquidity, cash flow, lending, borrowing and spending decisions as they unfold we’ve built a system that doesn’t just analyze the economy, it observes it in motion. That’s what makes CVI powerful, it uses AI to detect the earliest signals directly from how people are actually living and spending, not how they say they will.”
SoLo NowCAST™ is available for enterprises through a secure dashboard and API integration, enabling asset managers and macro analysts to incorporate CVI directly into their models. SoLo NowCAST™ is built with security and privacy at its core. The platform operates on institutional-grade security standards, with robust safeguards around data storage, processing, and access. By focusing on aggregated behavioral patterns rather than individual identities, SoLo NowCAST™ delivers powerful economic insights while maintaining strict compliance and protecting user privacy at every level.
