How do Transaction Insights help?
- IMPROVE ACCURACY: Transactional data allows you to significantly improve the accuracy/predictiveness of the affordability and creditworthiness assessment. The data is more granular – allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of how much customers can afford to borrow and what they are able to repay so you can forecast with greater accuracy.
- INCREASE ELIGIBILITY: Transactional data provides positive and negative indicators that can also be used to design more effective cut-off strategies. This means you can open up more revenue for thin-file applicants and widen the total pool of potential eligible customers. This can be done without affecting the risk appetite, in fact risk can be reduced further.
- IMPROVE CUSTOMER CARE: Transactional data can be used to enhance early warning indicators to signal customers falling into debt and allow you to take fast and appropriate action to minimise losses. Identify signs of stress through an aggregated view: for example, a fall in income combined with a shift in spending to high priority items.
- REDUCE OPERATIONAL COST: With categorization of bank transactions, manual processing can be removed, reducing the operational cost of underwriting. This means a faster application process for the customer.
- FASTER TIME TO YES: With Open Banking, the customer can receive a fully digital journey without a ‘break’ or interruption. The customer no longer has to manually source financial statements for submission. This improves the ability to automate more of the journey, speeding up the time to yes.
