TransUnion Sales VP Brad Deja is in the studio this month to talk shop! Josh starts by highlighting signs of a stabilizing market, including a slower decline in loan originations and the return of prime and below prime card issuance to pre-pandemic levels. Brad inquires about market expectations for Q1, noting a number of consumers are still struggling with inflation. Craig explains why he believes consumer credit health is evening out despite these challenges. When asked about the continued decline in originations, Josh attributes this to issuers' caution — while also pointing out positive demand signs in higher credit tiers. The conversation then shifts to current trends in card balances and utilization; Brad wonders whether delinquencies have peaked yet; and finally, Craig notes the most pertinent fraud challenges facing lenders today.

As technology and customer expectations change, fintechs must adapt and pivot to meet the needs of the community banks they work with. Whatever community banks are looking for—streamlining data collection, cutting down operation costs, etc.—there should be a fintech stepping up to provide a solution. But that means they must know exactly what the community bank customer desires.   “The majority of the conversations that I am having on this topic is a function of helping that fintech founder connect the products, which are usually amazing, to real, tangible, deep balance sheet and P&L and outcomes,” says Allan Rayson, founder and CEO of Finov8r Consulting.   So what do those fintechs need to know or adjust to serve the industry? Rayson and Saroop Bharwani, CEO and founder of Senso.ai, join Charles Potts to discuss how fintechs can accelerate community banks' digital transformation.   This episode is sponsored by FIS.
