ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

Alternative Data:
The Catalyst for Financial Inclusion

Book a Meeting

Addressing financial inclusion is a priority for many fintechs and financial services providers: there are almost 6 million unbanked households in the US alone. 

This large population of unbanked individuals represents significant growth for innovative organizations, but the reliance on traditional financial data makes it difficult to evaluate creditworthiness for those with thin or nonexistent files.  

To make financial services available to the unbanked and underbanked populations, alternative data provides new insights to support credit decisions while also detecting fraud.

Join this panel of experts for a discussion on how to harness the power of alternative data to catalyze financial inclusion and expand your customer base, without increasing risk.

Topics include:

  • The gaps using only traditional data leaves in determining credit risk
  • How alternative data can catalyze financial inclusion while reducing risk and fraud
  • The role of alternative data in the larger picture of tech-enabled financial inclusion
  • How alternative data opens opportunities for market expansion
  • Actionable steps you can take to incorporate alternative data into your decisioning

Financial Inclusion: How Data Can Expand Opportunities for the Unbanked

Financial Inclusion:
How Data Can Expand Opportunities for the Unbanked

Book a Meeting

Addressing financial inclusion is a priority for many fintechs and financial services providers.

Today, up to one-third of all adults globally lack any type of bank account, making it difficult to evaluate creditworthiness using traditional methods. This large population of unbanked individuals represents significant growth for innovative organizations.

A major issue hindering access to credit lies in the limited types of traditional data typically used in credit scoring and risk profiles. To make financial services available to the unbanked and underbanked population, alternative data provides new insights to support credit decisions while also detecting fraud.

How can fintechs and financial services providers begin this journey to remove barriers to financial inclusion and expand their potential audiences? By pioneering accessible data and open APIs to provide credit decisions and prevent identity fraud in fast, instantaneous actions, banks can begin to lift the unbanked out of financial exclusion.

Join our panel of industry experts as they discuss the following areas:

  • How does the current approach to determining risk profiles impact the unbanked population?
  • What steps can financial institutions and fintechs take to be more financially inclusive and expand their addressable market?
  • What is the role of data in expanding financial inclusivity.
  • How can other forms of financial technology be used to open opportunities for consumers with growing portfolios?

Alternative Credit Data for Better Customer Outcomes

Alternative Credit Data
for Better Customer Outcomes

Book a Meeting

It’s been a few months since the FCA’s Dear CEO letter, outlining their concerns with the rising cost of living. As it predicted, inflation is impacting household budgets resulting in an increased demand for credit.

Vulnerable customers are set to be hit the hardest. More of the UK population are also predicted to display characteristics of vulnerability over the coming months. 

The upcoming Consumer Duty is intended to raise the bar to address the FCAs growing concern lenders may not be doing enough. One thing for sure is that traditional data sources don’t have all the answers – lenders need to understand their customers’ real-time financial position to predict future risk and put the customer at the centre of their business. 

Leaders in the credit data space, DirectID and Provenir co-host this webinar with guest pannellist Jo Pearson from NewDay discussing the changing pressures on consumers. They explore and share knowledge on the alternative data sources available across the credit life cycle that lenders need to produce better customer outcomes.
