  • The Impact of AI in FinTech
    Sep 9 2024

    According to the World Economic Forum, 85% of financial services organizations are using AI in some capacity. It’s no secret the artificial intelligence ‘arms race’ is impacting virtually every industry, especially financial services. It’s also creating interesting and novel challenges for every industry, both in its application and its usage.

    It’s often said that technology advances faster than regulation. Is that the case with artificial intelligence, or are the rules of the road keeping pace with innovation? And how should fintech companies approach AI governance to ensure fair outcomes?

    Tamra Moore is VantageScore’s Deputy General Counsel. Tamra has over 15 years of experience as a thought leader on legal issues associated with the use of AI and machine learning. She joins The SCORE this week to discuss the importance of centering the consumer experience in AI usage.

  • Bank of America: VantageScore 4.0 is “Better” for Mortgage
    Aug 21 2024

    To date, nearly all mortgage loans continue to use outdated credit scoring models, though in other loan categories, much newer, more predictive, and inclusive models are most commonly used.

    But the mortgage industry is advancing. By next year, all mortgage loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will require a VantageScore 4.0 credit score. In advance of this change, Bank of America recently issued an independent research report analyzing the VantageScore 4.0 mortgage data set.

    Pratik Gupta is the Head of CLO & RMBS Research at Bank of America Securities. Pratik joins The SCORE this week to discuss the findings of Bank of America’s recent research into VantageScore 4.0. Pratik outlines his findings and reasons his team of analysts concluded it’s “better” for mortgage than the incumbent score.

  • A $1 Trillion Opportunity?
    Jul 23 2024

    It's been called the “$1 trillion opportunity.”

    Currently, the housing market is paralyzed. Homeowners are left out of the market due to a lack of inventory or—even worse—can’t access it due to outdated credit scoring models that exclude them. Recent VantageScore research found an estimated $1 trillion of pent-up growth potential in the form of borrowers who have historically been left out of homeownership opportunities due to unfairly restrictive, decades-old scoring models. But that's all changing with the implementation of VantageScore 4.0 for mortgages funded by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

    Anthony Hutchinson is Senior Vice President of Industry and Government Relations at VantageScore. Tony joins The SCORE this week to help lenders understand the importance of implementation and plan their migration to VantageScore 4.0.
