Fintech Takes x Nova Credit Presents Cash Flow Conversations Episode 5: Underwriting Was Just the Beginning

Hello, and welcome back to Cash Flow Conversations, a miniseries sponsored by our friends at Nova Credit. If you’ve followed my work, you’ll know that I’m obsessed with cash flow data (and underwriting more specifically) because it has enormous potential to positively reshape consumer lending in the U.S.  Cash Flow Conversations tracks that shift, from theory to practical use across the lending lifecycle. In Episode 5, recorded live at Money20/20, I sit down with Doug Swift (Navy Federal Credit Union) and Chris Hansen (Nova Credit) to talk about how cash flow underwriting has evolved over the past 18–24 months. Cash flow data has gone from lenders’ best-kept secret to an infrastructure-supported tool with real traction. The vintages have matured; the use cases have expanded (second look underwriting, line assignment, portfolio management, delinquency support, loan rewrites, extensions, settlements, and credit line changes, to name a few).  And Doug brings it to life with examples from Navy Federal’s collections workflows, which you won’t want to miss.  Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I enjoyed facilitating it!  This episode is brought to you by Nova Credit.  Nova Credit is a credit infrastructure and analytics company that enables businesses to grow responsibly by harnessing consumer credit data.
