Evolving Credit Scoring: Harnessing the Power of Open Banking Data
In the world of lending, there's a notable shift happening in both consumer needs (greater need for credit, evolving working practices such as gig working) and most relevantly to lenders with the introduction of Open Banking data. It's changing how lenders evaluate both creditworthiness and affordability, providing a more detailed view of a person's financial habits as well as opportunities to remove friction and automate decisioning. In this article, we'll explore the practical aspects and real-life examples of how Open Banking is reshaping credit scoring.

Lenders that automate the use of this data will be at a distinct advantage, benefitting both them and their customers.
