Common pain points for lenders and BNPL providers

Nobody wants to annoy customers with time-intensive processes for checking and verifying income and expenses. But: on the other hand, lenders and BNPL providers are keen to minimise their risks. The most common problems in this field are:

Inaccurate assessment of financial health:

Without real-time access to financial data, businesses often rely on outdated or self-reported customer information, which can be inaccurate and lead to poor lending decisions.

Time-consuming verification processes:

Manually checking and verifying income and expenses is a time-intensive process, leading to delays in decision-making and a poor customer experience.

Fraud and misrepresentation risks:

The risk of income misrepresentation or fraudulent documentation is high when relying on traditional verification methods, posing significant risks to the business.

Complexity in understanding financial data:

Financial data can often be complex and unstructured, making it difficult for businesses to categorize and interpret this information accurately, leading to suboptimal assessment of a customer’s financial situation.
