On-Demand | Fintech Innovations Press Credit Reporting Evolution

December 8th 2022, 7:00 pm

Consumer credit is an important element of a healthy economy, allowing borrowers to finance the purchase of homes, cars, and many other goods and services. While mortgage debt remains the largest source of U.S. consumer debt, non-mortgage debt balances also continue steady growth, pausing only slightly during the pandemic before regaining momentum. Over the last decade, the makeup of non-mortgage debt has changed with the acceleration of student lending and the development of new forms of personal lending. Throughout the changes, credit scores derived from consumer credit files have remained an effective tool for managing repayment risk. Lenders rely on the predictive value of scores to extend credit in responsible ways, allowing borrowers to reach their goals while building a solid credit profile. The credit bureaus provide an important service by collecting and maintaining information on credit transactions to support the transparency that lenders and borrowers need.
