Managing credit portfolio performance is a balancing act between risk exposure and growth. However, as economic conditions continue to evolve, financial institutions must look beyond traditional underwriting data and principles to serve new segments and grow their business, says Visa.
Additionally, the lack of data also poses a unique challenge when it comes to acquiring customers with little-to-no credit history. In the US alone, 26 million people are classified as “credit invisible.”
