Finnish peer-to-peer lender Fixura is using Nordigen’s account data analytics engine to automate its loan applicant income verification process and improve its loan portfolio. Fixura is aiming to use Nordigen to automate up to 80% of their decision-making processes by the end of 2019.
Income verification is currently one of the biggest challenges for lenders in Finland. Fixura is amongst Finland’s most innovative lenders implementing Open Banking infrastructure, which grants immediate and secure access to customer account information. Nordigen’s income verification solution helps Fixura understand the true creditworthiness of their loan applicants, including active liabilities and ‘red flags’ of potential ‘high-risk’ applicants.
Advocating for a more stable and secure economy, Fixura’s digital platform connects individual lenders with potential investors. As the infrastructure provider, Fixura is set to automate up to 80% of their lending decision making processes by the end of 2019. For this purpose, Fixura is using Nordigen’s account data-based transaction categorisation API, enabling the lender to verify applicant income with increased speed and accuracy.
“It has been fun times working with Nordigen. With their help and expertise of transaction categorisation we can definitely improve our scoring models. Our cooperation with Nordigen helps us give out even faster and fairer credit decisions than ever before” says Fixura´s CEO Petter Lingonblad.
“We’re thrilled to be providing the oldest Nordic peer-to-peer lending platform with an advanced analytics solution for a faster, more accurate income verification process. Strategic innovation and Open Banking adoption will enable them to approve more creditworthy loan applicants and provide a more responsible lending infrastructure for their clients in Finland and abroad.” comments Nordigen’s Global Sales Executive Oskars Baltais.
