At a time of economic uncertainty how can we better help the financially under-served and drive greater financial inclusion?
In this podcast we focus on how we can improve consumers’ experience of credit against the backdrop of the cost of living crises, and give them greater confidence in their finances. Joining host Kelli Fielding, VP Consumer Interactive at TransUnion, are Alastair Douglas, CEO of TotallyMoney, and Sarah Taylor, Analytical Consultant, TransUnion.
TransUnion Consumer Pulse research shows 70% of consumers think having access to credit is important to achieve their financial goals, but a recent white paper on the financially under-served, published by TotallyMoney, revealed 1 in 3 UK adults struggle to access mainstream lenders. These research pieces provide the starting point for a discussion that explains what financial inclusion actually means, why it is important, and why it offers lenders an opportunity to materially help improve consumers’ access to lending products, as well as their understanding of their financial situation. Our speakers also discuss advancements in digital customer experience and using innovation to foster loyalty.
