One particular area of the financial landscape that is benefiting both consumers and lenders alike is consumer lending. Through different products and services, open banking is giving lenders the tools they need to assess their consumer’s data. It’s also giving underserved consumers, especially those with non-traditional circumstances, such as freelancers, expats and younger consumers the ability to be assessed for creditworthiness more accurately. As well as all of the benefits of open banking, there are also new regulatory requirements for loan origination from the European Banking Association, meaning a lot of lenders in Europe are looking for ways to comply with both the EBA and local authorities.
Affordability checks, minus the fuss
Traditionally, affordability checks have been time-consuming and painstaking for lenders. They involve a lot of work but still often leave out a lot of key information when it comes to assessing creditworthiness. Which in turn can be unfair to the consumer. Open banking is bridging the gap and harnessing the power of consumer data to give a clearer picture of each individual consumer’s financial situation.
With Income Check and Expense Check, Tink makes it possible to understand and validate a consumer’s affordability, when it comes to both their incomings and outgoings.
