Industry Context
In the 10 years following the Great Recession, American households have migrated from being net savers to net borrowers. The increased demand for credit has been a boon for lenders, and has given rise to a proliferation of lending technologies (“LendTech”) that support core lending functions for retail and commercial financial institutions. Competition within the LendTech industry is intense, centered on the use of realtime data, and emerging technologies that enhance the lender’s ability to intelligently navigate tradeoffs between risk factors and growth.
