Over the last 5 years, the United States has seen significant growth in unsecured consumer lending driven by three factors. First, fintech startups are offering innovative services and loan options tapping into new marketplaces. Second, the marketplace demands real-time or near real-time decisioning during the transaction – there’s significant loan volume moving from a secured (time intensive) process to an unsecured (real-time decisioning) process. And lastly, traditional auto lending is highly competitive, and the returns are diminishing. Used car refinancing only has a limited opportunity over time.
LoanStar is recommending a consumer lending strategy that:
- Partners with fintechs and takes advantage of the new markets being created.
- Leverages software and data services to exceed customer expectations with imbedded lending services within their buying experience.
