Provides a clearer, more detailed picture of a customer’s income and affordability to help prevent unaffordable lending.
As a pioneer in affordability solutions and a track record of industry firsts, TransUnion continues to innovate new bureau-based and analytical affordability tools that enable robust credit risk analysis that can help ensure both responsible customer outcomes and a friction-right customer journey.
The driving force for Affordability Report is to help lenders build a more detailed, clearer picture of a customer’s income and affordability and help prevent unaffordable consumer lending. Affordability Report can help businesses manage portfolio risk and optimise performance and budgets through automation and quicker, more informed decisions to support new lending. This approach can work towards strengthening brand, trust and existing and new customer relationships.
With increased regulatory attention, indebtedness levels remaining high and consumers suffering an unprecedented squeeze on disposable income, a robust affordability assessment is a crucial aspect of credit risk management and helps to spot consumers who are susceptible to future financial vulnerability.
