SEON’s Post

In the digital world, most lenders already possess a tremendous amount of information that can be leveraged to evaluate new customers to grow market share while lowering default ratios, even without access to traditional credit histories. 🔍 While traditional credit scoring methods focus on factors like payment history, length of credit history or the number and types of credit accounts, alternative credit scoring introduces a new way of assessing creditworthiness based on data lenders already have at hand at the very first stage of onboarding. Alternative credit scoring goes beyond the usual metrics and paints a complete picture of customers by examining their digital footprints. Based on a single email, phone number or IP address, lenders can assess steady employment based on a LinkedIn account, see if they have regular interactions on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, which can indicate stability and consistency or check if they participate in digital communities and have subscriptions to services like Netflix or Disney+ for additional insights. By examining these alternative signals, lenders can form a more accurate and holistic view of an applicant’s creditworthiness. This new way of credit scoring can provide access to those with limited traditional credit history, make the online lending space more inclusive, and allow for a more precise assessment of financial reliability.  #CreditScoring #AlternativeCreditScoring #Fintech #FinancialInclusion #Creditworthiness #InnovationInFinance

Online lending is transforming how we access loans, but it's not without its risks. Here’s a rundown of the main risks involved and how to manage them: ❗Credit risk: As the primary challenge for online lenders, assessing the creditworthiness of customers, especially those who are unbanked or underbanked, can be tricky for digital platforms. A solid credit assessment process, utilizing alternative data in case traditional credit history is not available, is key to preventing defaults. ❗Operational risk: System failures, human errors, cyber threats and data breaches can disrupt operations. Investing in reliable tech and strong cybersecurity measures can help keep things running smoothly. ❗Fraud risk: From identity theft to synthetic identity fraud and account takeovers, the online lending space is a target for fraudsters. Using advanced fraud detection tools and secure verification processes is crucial to staying ahead of these threats. ❗Regulatory and compliance risk: Staying compliant with laws and regulations is a must. This includes data protection, consumer privacy, AML, and fair lending practices. Keeping up with changing regulations and ensuring compliance can prevent hefty penalties. ❗Market risk: Economic shifts, interest rate changes and evolving borrower behaviors can affect loan performance. Diversifying your loan portfolio and keeping a close eye on market conditions can help mitigate these risks. ❗Reputation risk: Bad publicity, unhappy customers or regulatory issues can harm your reputation. Providing excellent customer service and addressing issues quickly can help maintain trust and credibility. By staying on top of these risks, online lenders can create a secure and trustworthy lending environment for everyone involved. #DigitalLending #RiskManagement #Fintech #CreditRisk #OperationalRisk #FraudPrevention #RegulatoryCompliance #MarketRisk #ReputationManagement

🛑 3 signs to look out for to spot chargeback fraud 🛑 1️⃣ Lack of registered social media profiles: Collecting and analyzing social and digital signals to construct a comprehensive digital footprint is a good way to size up intentions: if a player lacks associated social media or online presence, you can suspect potential chargeback intent. 2️⃣ Discrepancy between card and IP country: Combining IP analysis with card BIN lookups unveils inconsistencies, such as a US card with a Russian IP. While this might not be a definite sign of fraud in itself, the mismatch can indicate a chargeback attempt requiring more in-depth analysis. 3️⃣ A rapid increase in deposits: A significant surge in deposits within 24 hours may signal a chargeback, as fraudsters often exploit stolen card numbers to withdraw winnings quickly. Check our recommended custom rules to spot such instances instantly. By setting up rules to spot these occurrences, stopping chargeback fraud is easier than ever. You don’t have to just accept chargebacks and online gambling fraud. Seeing through ill intent doesn’t have to be a mission impossible.
