Caroline Fowler, Director of Product – Consumer Interactive, TransUnion, holds the mic for this episode and is joined by colleagues, Dennis Bishop and Glyn Cowlishaw. Dennis is an expert in credit data, whilst Glyn advises our customers on fraud and identity solutions.
The show starts with a discussion of Credit Week (Credit Strategy's new flagship event) which took place this June. Each contributor picks out their own highlight from the event and explains why this example resonated with them. The conversation moves on to the development of data solutions attuned to current consumer and business needs. Glyn talks about the spikes we are seeing in different fraud types (as documented in our 2024 Omnichannel Fraud Report) and the opportunity to educate consumers better around fraud risk and online safety. Dennis discusses the current economic situation, consumer sentiment and advances in affordability data in the form of trended affordability and how that helps businesses tailor their approach to individual consumers.
We wrap by shining a lens on product innovation. We explore how NPD can create more good consumer outcomes during the lending experience and how fraud and identity solutions (such as document verification and biometrics) can help businesses keep pace with criminals and authenticate more good customers vs stopping the fraudsters and support streamlined reauthentication processes that strengthen the customer experience.
