484. Insights: Credit, COVID and the potential of Open Banking

Fintech Insider Podcast by 11:FS

Credit can be a lifeline in times of crisis but the credit risk models banks rely on are simply no longer fit for the realities of today. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on everyone’s finances, apart from the lucky few, and post pandemic the need for credit has never been greater.

Simon Taylor is joined by some fantastic guests to discuss how the current system of credit is in dire need of an overaul and how Open Banking can help lenders to provide financial products and services that meet the needs of customers. Joining this week's show we have:

• Freddy Kelly - CEO, Credit Kudos
• Paul Harrald - Head of Curve Credit
• Francesca Carlesi - Co-founder and CEO, Molo Finance

This podcast is brought to you by Jack Henry Digital the pioneer and creator of personal digital banking that helps community financial institutions strategically differentiate their digital offerings from those of MegaBanks, BigTechs and FinTechs.
